List of Perkins

engines

In this List of Perkins engines, family type


refers to the two letter designation Perkins
Engines gives each engine. This
nomenclature was introduced in 1978
under Perkins' new engine numbering
scheme, where the family type is encoded
in each unique serial number. Engines that
went out of production prior to 1978 may
have been retroactively assigned a family
type to expedite parts support (this is the
case with the Perkins 4.107). Some
engines never entered production, such as
the Perkins 4.224, but were assigned a
family type. In the early years, Perkins gave
names to their engines, beginning with the
smallest Wolf. The larger Lynx and
Leopard followed (all four-cylinders), with
the 1937 P6 was intended to be called the
"Panther." After a lawsuit from motorcycle
manufacturer Phelon & Moore, Perkins
dropped the Panther (and Python and
Puma for the corresponding P3 and P4
models) and stuck to abbreviations from
then on.[1]

Perkins was sold by Massey Ferguson's


parent Varity Corporation in 1998, and is
now a fully owned subsidiary of Caterpillar
Inc.

between Perkins, UK
government and the Austin
Rover Group. Based on the
Austin Rover O series engine
this engine had major parts
produced at Longbridge by
BA 4.20 Austin Rover with final
assembly by Perkins. It was
entirely designed by Perkins
who also sold it to external
customers. It was used by
Austin Rover in the Austin
Maestro and by LDV Group
in their 2.5-tonne van.

240 lb ft at 1,500/1,750 rpm.
Rushed development led to
major problems with this
engine, with consequent
damage to both Perkins'
reputation and finances.
1953 to
unknown R6 Although, the problems were
1962
solved quite quickly and the
engine was relaunched as
the R6 Mk2, with a reduced
rating of 104 bhp at 2,500
rpm. Sales never recovered
after the early problems and
only 33,800 engines were
built before production
ended in 1962.[5]

none S6 1939-05 to Six-cylinder, 377 cu. in. (7.4


1962-10 L) diesel engine. Very similar

reputation after the
problematic R6.

Perkins Diesel Conversions & Factory
fitted units, by Allan T. Condie, 2nd
edition 2000, ISBN 0-907742-79-3

The 4 107T was used in UK Military


electricity generating sets, the engines
when in need an overhaul were rebuilt by a
Kent based engineering works in
Ramsgate, adjacent to the inner Harbour
known as Walkers Marine (Marine
Engineers) Ltd. Houchins of Ashford an
MOD contractor would send an MOD
inspector to verify dynamometer testing of
power and smoke emissions both on start
up and full power for one full hour (27
horsepower produced at 3000 rpm) being
used near military front lines any
excessive smoke whilst running would
give the armies position away. When the
transport vessel "Atlantic conveyor" was
sunk during the Falklands conflict a large
quantity of these generating units were
lost. The engines were highly stressed due
to turbo charging, the 4-107T used a
Holset Brand turbocharger without after-
cooling, and the longer 4-108 pistons with
extended skirts, also a toughened
tufftrided crankshaft, larger diameter
cylinder head studs were used to contain
the high combustion pressures. The
engines when rebuilt could take up to four
days of diligent running on the "Heenan
and Froud" water dynomometer with great
care given regarding application and
duration of the load as minor tightening
was not un-common, and a heavy seizure
could result in disassembly and liner and
piston replacement. But once run in the
process of gaining full power with minimal
rpm overshoot or droop or heavy black
smoke was achieved by finely adjusting
the injection timing and governor load
springs in the CAV DPA injection pump.
