Note: Is used where the information is important, but
there is not a danger.

New 2000 Series engines


A number of specification changes were made to
engines produced after July 1996. The changes were
introduced on generator set engines from the
following engine specification numbers:
2006TG1A SCG060223
2006TG2A SGH060224
2006TWG2 SGK060225
2006TAG2 SGB060226
2006TTAG SGJ060227
These engines can be identified by the type of sump
fitted. Engines manufactured to the later specification
are fitted with a sump made from a composite
material. The sumps of earlier engines are made from
aluminium.
The specification changes were not applied to
industrial engines until August 1998 (specification
number: SPD060427) and then to only certain
engines. Additionally, industrial engines may be
manufactured to the new specification, but retain the
aluminium sump.

Engine identification
The engine number is stamped on the data plate
which is fastened to the left side of the crankcase.
For early engines, a typical engine number is:
8B13718U 66381T, which consists of these codes:
8B Engine family
13718 Engine number
U Country of manufacture
66381 Build line number
T Year of manufacture
Engines made after August 1994, have a new engine
number system. For these engines, a typical number
is: SGK 06 0024 U 2238 B, which consists of these
codes:
SG Engine application
K Engine type
06 Number of engine cylinders
0024 Engine specification number
U The country of manufacture
2238 Build line number
B Year of manufacture
Units such as the fuel injection pump and
turbochargers have their own data plates.
If you need parts, service or information for your
engine, you must give the complete engine number to
your Perkins distributor.

Safety
.

Engine lift equipment


Use only the lift equipment which is designed for the
engine. The part number for the lift adaptor to use for
the engine is: 21825 821.
Use lift equipment or obtain assistance to lift heavy
engine components such as the cylinder block,
cylinder head, flywheel housing, crankshaft and
flywheel.
Check the engine lift brackets for security before the
engine is lifted. A

Asbestos joints
Some joints and gaskets contain compressed
asbestos fibres in a rubber compound or in a metal
outer cover. The ‘white’ asbestos (Chrysotile) which is
used is a safer type of asbestos and the danger of
damage to health is extremely small.
Contact with asbestos particles normally occurs at
joint edges or where a joint is damaged during
removal, or where a joint is removed by an abrasive
method.
To ensure that the risk is kept to a minimum, the
procedures given below must be followed when an
engine which has asbestos joints is dismantled or
assembled.
z Work in an area with good ventilation.
z Do NOT smoke.
z Use a hand scraper to remove the joints - do NOT
use a rotary wire brush.
z Ensure that the joint to be removed is wet with oil
or water to contain any loose particles.

To correct a valve seat 12-9

Special tools:
Valve seat tool, 21825 841
Replacement tips, 21825 842

It is recommended that all the valve guides are


inspected, and renewed as necessary, before the
work is begun on the valve seat inserts. Ensure that
the bores of the guides are within the limits given at
the end of this section.
1 Inspect the inserts for erosion and cracks. If it is A 222
necessary to correct the inserts, lightly lap the faces
of the valve seats and their relevant valves. To correct
the faces of more badly damaged valve seats, use the
valve seat tool, 21825 841, together with the relevant
pilot. To use the tool, fit the guide (A) and proceed as
shown (B). Ensure that the cutter is correct for the
angle of the valve seat, which is given on page 43.
The surface finish of the valve seat will be improved if
a compressed air supply is used to remove debris
during this operation.
Warning! Ensure that eye protection is used during
the above operation.
Caution: During the correction of a valve seat it is
important to remove only the minimum amount of
material.
2 After the inspection and correction of a valve seat
and the relevant valve, fit the valve into the guide and
check the depth of the head of the valve below the
flame face. If the depth is more than the limits given
on page 43 use a new valve to check again. If the
depth is then within acceptable limits, the new valve
must be fitted to the valve seat when the cylinder
head is assembled.
3 To ensure that the valve is fitted in its correct
position, the number of the cylinder and the position
of the valve must be etched above the collet groove
on the valve stem. Valves must not be stamped or
marked with a centre punch, because cracks may B 223
occur.
If the depth still exceeds the acceptable limits, a new
valve seat insert must be fitted.

General description
Pistons
1 The pistons (A) are cast in a low expansion type
aluminium alloy with an inserted cast iron top ring 1
groove (A1). The piston crown (B) is machined to form
two valve recesses (B1) and an open combustion
chamber (B2).
Three rings are fitted to each piston above the
gudgeon pin.
Part of the combustion chamber and piston crown are
‘hard anodised’ to thermally insulate the edge of the
combustion chamber, except for the pistons of certain
industrial engines which are squeeze-cast and have a A 335
ceramic fibre crown.
A range of service undersize pistons is available for
engines where the crankcase top face has been
1 1
machined.
The fully floating gudgeon pin is retained by two
circlips and is offset from the vertical centre line of the 2
piston. Piston crowns are stamped ‘FRONT’ and
show compression ratio and height grading.
Compression ratio:
TAG1, 2, 3 and TWG 15.9:1
TTAG 15:1
2006-12TA1, 2 and 3 17.8:1 B 277
Compression height: 98,81 to 98,93 mm
(3.890 to 3.895 in)
Clearance from crankcase top face to piston crown at
TDC (Top dead centre) - Minus 0,28 to 0,38 mm
(0.011 to 0.015 in).
Maximum limit for piston crown machining 0,127 mm
(0.005 in).
The correct pistons and rings, as given in the Perkins
Parts Book, must always be fitted.

edge, marked ‘TOP’ for fitting. 3
Third ring (A3)
Spring backed oil control ring, chrome plated on rails
and may be fitted either way up.
Connecting rods A 278

The rods are steel forgings machined to size and


drilled longitudinally to allow pressure lubrication of
the small end bearings.
Early engines have two bushes fitted in the small end
with an oilway gap between them (B). Subsequent
engines have a single bush fitted in a wedge type rod
(C).
Each rod and its cap are stamped with correlation
marks (B1) on all factory built engines. The rod and 2
cap are secured together with two fitted bolts and
nuts. The big end will pass through the bore of the
cylinder liner and no locking device is fitted. 1
B 280
During manufacture, all connecting rods are weighed
and classified in groups of 113 grams (4 oz) which are
identified by a letter and number stamped on each
individual rod (B2). If an order is placed for a
replacement connecting rod it must state the weight
group ‘letter’ of the rod required.

but differ in design.
5 Unscrew the big end nuts and remove the big end
cap bearing and bolts.
6 Push the piston and connecting rod carefully out
through the top of the bore.
7 The rod and piston must be kept together with all
the related parts as an assembly for the relevant
cylinder.
B 283
To fit
1 Check that the piston and connecting rod are
correctly assembled and that the piston and cylinder
bore are clean.
2 Turn the crankshaft until the crank pin, relevant to
the bore in which the piston is to be fitted, is at its
lowest position. Clean the crank pin and lubricate with
clean engine oil.
3 Fit the upper half of the big end bearing to the
connecting rod, ensuring that the location tang is
correctly seated. Lubricate the bearing with clean
engine oil.
4 Ensure that the piston cooling jet is removed from
the bottom of the bore.
5 Use the sleeve, 21825 784 (B1), to fit the assembly
into the bore with the ‘FRONT’ marking on the piston
crown toward the front of the engine. Guide the rod
down carefully onto the crank pin. Fit the lower half of
the bearing into the big end cap, ensuring correct
location, and lubricate with clean engine oil.

6 Ensure that the flats on the big end bolts are
correctly located against the flats on the connecting
rod. Fit the bearing cap with the correlation marks
aligned and tighten the lightly oiled nuts to a torque of
217 Nm (160 lbf ft).
7 Turn the crankshaft until the piston is at TDC and
measure the clearance of the piston crown below the
top face of the crankcase. A dial gauge, 21825 782
(A), is obtainable for this operation. Permissible
clearance is 0,28 to 0,38 mm (0.011 to 0.015 in). If
necessary, it is permissible to machine up to a
maximum of 0,127 mm (0.005 in) from the piston
crown. Restore the ‘FRONT’ and other markings if
they are removed during machining. Dial gauge must A 284
be zeroed on a flat clean surface before use.
8 Fit the piston cooling jet, complete with new ‘O’ ring
seal. If necessary, turn the engine to ensure that the
jet pipe is positioned centrally in the slot in the piston
skirt.
9 Fit the sump, operation 19-3.
10 Fit the cylinder heads, operation 12-4.
11 Fill the coolant system to the correct level with the
approved coolant mixture.
12 Fill the sump to the correct level with the correct
grade of lubricating oil.
Refer to the User’s Handbook, TSD 3215, for the
correct procedures before the engine is first started
after an overhaul.

Crankshaft assembly 14

General description
The crankshaft is forged from chrome-molybdenum
steel. It is dynamically balanced, and all bearing
surfaces are nitride-hardened and lapped to size. The
rear flange is machined to form a spigot location for
the flywheel and is drilled to accept the flywheel bolts.
Drillings in the crankshaft permit oil transfer to the
seven main bearings.
A drilling from each journal conveys oil to an adjacent
crankpin, which incorporates an oil reservoir with a
detachable plug. This plug is fitted with an ‘O’ ring and
is secured by a spring clip.
Crankshafts fitted after July 1995, have a new
arrangement of oil passageways which removes the
need for oil reservoirs. These new crankshafts are
therefore not fitted with oil reservoir plugs.
If, during overhaul, the oil reservoir plugs are removed
from the earlier crankshaft, the plugs MUST be
refitted before the engine is run.
Crankshaft end float is controlled by steel-backed
lead bronze thrust washers, fitted either side of the
centre main bearing. The lower half of the washer has
a tang which locates in a slot machined in the bearing
cap.
The nose of the crankshaft carries the oil pump drive
gear and the main pinion, and is splined to receive the
hub to which the damper and pulley are attached.
The main crankshaft oil seals are of lip type design.
The rear oil seal is fitted directly into the flywheel
housing and forms a seal around the rear flange of the
crankshaft. For earlier engines the oil seal is carried
in a housing which is bolted to the rear of the
crankcase. The front oil seal is fitted in the wheelcase
and forms a seal around the crankshaft hub. Both
seals are supplied with a plastic insert for fitting
purposes.

If necessary, it is possible for the crankshaft to be
reground. Re-grinding is permissible in four stages,
each of 0,25 mm (0.010 in) on the diameter.
Caution: The crankshaft MUST be re-nitrided if it is
re-ground by more than 0,25mm (0.010 in).
Should the crankshaft be re-ground several times, re-
nitriding will be necessary at:
a Minus 0,51 mm (0.020 in)
and
b Minus 1,02 mm (0.040 in)

Wheelcase and drive assembly 15

General description
The wheelcase assembly of the new 2000 series
engine consists of an aluminium wheelcase and a
cast iron backplate. For earlier engines, the backplate
is manufactured from aluminium. The assembly is
situated at the front end of the crankcase and houses
the engine gear train. The backplate is located on the
crankcase by dowels and is secured by close fitting
bolts. This ensures the correct positioning of the front
seal in relation to the crankshaft.
A steel oil transfer tube is fitted between the backplate
and the front end of the main oil gallery in the
crankcase. Lubricating oil is supplied through this
tube and through drillings in the backplate to the fuel
injection pump.
The wheelcase provides mounting points for the
coolant pump, alternator and belt tensioner bracket.
The backplate houses the radiator by-pass tube and
provides mounting points for the compressor and fuel
injection pump.
The gears of new 2000 series engines have a
different gear tooth design and are not
interchangeable with those fitted to earlier engines.
The idler axle fitted to new 2000 engines does not
require adjustment.

To remove and to fit 15-6

To remove
1 Remove the wheelcase, operation 15-1.
2 Turn the engine until No.1 piston is at TDC with the
relevant mark on the flywheel aligned with the timing
pointer in the flywheel housing. The timing marks on
the camshaft and crankshaft gears (A3 and A2) 3 2
should now be facing the axle of the idler gear (A1),
and the mark on the front end of the crankshaft at the A 295
12 o’clock position.
3 Check and note the end float of the idler gear.
4 Check the gear for excessive play on the axle.
5 Remove the securing bolt and thrust plate.
6 Withdraw the gear and check for worn or damaged
teeth.
7 Do not turn the engine from its present position.
To fit
1 Slide the gear onto the axle, with the timing marks
aligned with the relevant markings on the camshaft
and crankshaft gears.
2 For new 2000 series engines: Fit the idler gear
thrust plate and securing bolt. Tighten the bolt to a
torque of 300 Nm (220 lbf ft). Check that the end
float is within these limits: 0,10 to 0,25 mm (0.004
to 0.010 in). If it is outside the limits, the assembly
of the idler gear and bushes must be renewed.
For earlier 2000 series engines, fit the idler gear thrust
plate and securing bolt. Ensure that the slot in the plate
is correctly located on the roll pin before tightening the
bolt. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 61 Nm (45 lbf ft).
Check that the end float is within these limits: 0,051 to
0,20 mm (0.002 to 0.008 in). If it is outside the limits,
the assembly of the idler gear and bushes must be
renewed.
3 Check the backlash of the idler gear, see Fits and
clearances on page 77. If a new gear has been fitted,
the position of the idler gear axle may require
adjustment to obtain the correct backlash
dimensions. Refer to page 76. This operation does
NOT apply to new 2000 series engines.

To set the gear backlash 15-7

Special tools:
Reaming jig, idler gear axle, 21825 999

Note: This operation is NOT applicable to New 2000


series engines.
The backlash of the timing gears is set by the position
of the idler gear axle. If, during an overhaul, a new
idler gear, a new idler gear axle or a new crankcase is
used, the correct position for the idler gear can
change and effect the backlash setting of the gears.
To obtain the position that will give the correct
backlash settings for the idler gear, the position of the
dowel holes may have to change. To do this, the
dowel holes must be reamed to a larger size by 0,38
mm (0.015 in), this will give them a diameter of 8,33
mm (0.328 in). If this operation has been done before,
they may have to be reamed by a further 0,38 mm
(0.015 in) to a finished size of 8,73 mm (0.3437 in).
According to the size of the dowels which are to be
fitted, a selection of these location pins and reamers
will be necessary:
Dowel size 8,33mm (0.32in) oversize
Dowel part number: OE51709/1
Location pin: 21825 830
Reamer: 21825 833
Location pin: 21825 831
Dowel size 8,73mm (0.343in) oversize
Dowel part number: OE51709/2

To adjust the backlash of the timing gears
If the crankcase is to have its original idler gear and
1 2 3
idler gear axle fitted, they should be fitted with the
original dowels and then the backlash must be
checked. The backlash limits are:
Between the idler gear and the drive gear for the fuel
injection pump (FIP):
0,05 to 0,15 mm (0.002 to 0.006 in).
Between the idler gear and the camshaft gear:
0,05 to 0,15 mm (0.002 to 0.006 in).
Between the idler gear and the crankshaft gear:
0,15 to 0,40 mm (0.006 to 0.010 in). A 02

If these clearances cannot be obtained, use the


procedure which follows:
1 The camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear must be
fitted and the FIP drive gear must be fitted, but without
its bolts at this time.
2 Fit the idler gear axle (A1) without the dowels, fit
spring washers to the bolts and tighten the bolts
lightly.
3 Fit the gear and check the backlash at four equally
spaced points on its circumference between the
gears of the camshaft and the crankshaft.
4 Adjust the position of the idler gear axle to achieve
a backlash of 0,05 to 0,15 mm (0.002 to 0.006 in)
between the idler gear and the camshaft gear and
also between the idler gear and the FIP drive gear.
And ensure that the backlash between the idler gear
and the crankshaft gear is between 0,15 and 0,25 mm
(0.006 and 0.010 in).
5 Remove carefully the idler gear, ensure that the
idler gear axle is not disturbed; tighten the bolts of the
idler gear axle to a torque of 61 Nm (45 lbf ft).
Caution: Ensure that the correct tools are used for
the size of dowels to be fitted.
6 Fit the reaming jig, 21825 999, over the idler gear
axle, fit the relevant location pin into one of the dowel
holes (A2) and use the relevant reamer in the other
dowel hole to ream the other hole in the crankcase to
the next relevant size.
7 Fit the relevant locating pin to the dowel hole and
remove the other locating pin. Ream the second
dowel hole with the same reamer.
8 Remove the locating pin and the reaming jig.
Ensure that the dowel holes are clean. Fit new dowels
of the correct size.
9 Use a centre punch to distort the dowel holes
similar to that shown (A3).
10 Fit the idler gear, operation 15-6.

Cylinder block assembly 16

General description
The crankcase is a single unit cast in high grade
nickel-chrome iron and comprises the crank chamber
and the cylinder block. The crank chamber extends
below the crankshaft line to ensure rigidity. Lateral
bolts to the front, centre and rear main bearing caps
provide additional stiffness.
Five transverse webs within the crankcase provide
support for the crankshaft and camshaft. The
crankshaft is carried in seven bearings, secured by
removable caps and fitted with thrust washers at the
centre bearing.
The camshaft has seven journals. On all engines prior
to build line number 79339 the camshaft runs in
bearing surfaces machined in the crankcase parent
metal. Industrial engines, from build line number
79339, have a bush fitted to the front journal with the
six remaining journals running in bearing surfaces
machined in the crankcase parent metal.
The low-mounted camshaft is gear driven from the
front of the crankshaft through an idler gear. It is
drilled through its complete length to form an oil
gallery and runs in bearings or bearing surfaces
machined in the crankcase.
Oil is transferred from the centre bearing to lubricate
the remaining six camshaft journals and certain other
components.
The drive gear is located on the shaft by a single
dowel and retained by five setbolts/capscrews and a
locking plate. For certain early engines, the drive gear
is pressed onto the camshaft and is located by a
woodruff key.
Slip-fit wet-type cylinder liners manufactured from
cast iron and which have been induction hardened
are used. The liner bore is honed and carbide
finished, which results in a matt surface.
Caution: If a used liner is to be refitted to an engine,
it is vital that NO re-honing or de-glazing of the bore is
undertaken.
The top of the liner is flanged and forms a coolant seal
with the counterbore seat in the crankcase top face.
Three grooves are machined into the skirt of the liner
to accept three composition sealing rings.

between the highest and lowest points on any one
liner flange.
z Maximum variation of 0,025 mm (0.001 in)
between protrusions at adjacent points of
neighbouring liners.
8 Use ‘Engineers blue’ to check the contact between
the liner flanges and their seating faces. To ensure a
satisfactory seal, the contact area must cover 100%
of the circumference and at least 50% of the width
and any position. If the area of contact does not
conform to these requirements, the flange of the
cylinder liner must be lapped to the shoulder in the
crankcase by the use of a lapping compound. A
lapping tool, 21825 902, is available for this operation.

24 Position the lifting eyes. A light application of oil
must be applied under the head of each cylinder head
bolt and also to the threaded area. Do NOT use an
excess amount of oil. Where relevant, fit a washer to
each bolt.
Note: Recent engines use a different type of bolt
which MUST be fitted without a washer.
25 Screw the bolts in by hand to ensure the correct
location. Always place the bolts in position, do NOT
drop them. Lightly oil the threads on the oilway stud
and fit the nut and washer. Later engines have a
special bolt (A22) fitted in place of the stud and nut.
Caution: The special bolt (at position A22) is drilled A 56
and can be identified by the word ‘OIL’ stamped on its
head or, for later engines, a recess in its head. The
old and new types of drilled bolt are interchangeable.
26 Align the heads by temporarily fitting the inlet
manifold without the gasket and, using the sequence
shown (A), tighten the bolts (and nut where relevant)
of each cylinder head as follows:
a Tighten all bolts in the sequence shown (A) to a
torque of 136 Nm (100 lbf ft).
b Tighten all bolts in the sequence shown (A) to a
torque of 204 Nm (150 lbf ft).
c Tighten ONLY the bolts in the black circles, in
the sequence shown (A), by an additional angle
of 40 degrees. A torque angle gauge, 21825
924, is available for this purpose.
Remove the inlet manifold.
Caution: Except for new 2000 series engines, the
bolts and nuts of a newly fitted cylinder head must
be re-tightened to their final torque figures, and the
tappet clearances checked, after the first 500 to
1000 km.
27 Lightly oil the cam followers and fit them to their
relevant positions in the crankcase. Fit the rocker oil
feed pipe and secure with three bolts and shouldered
washers. Fit the gasket, baffle plate, gasket and the
tappet cover and secure the engine breather pipe to

washers.
Caution: When tightening bolts on rear pannier
sumps the four bolts immediately to the front of the
pannier (two each side, near the centre of the sump),
must be tightened last to a torque of 28 Nm (21 lbf ft).
36 With the crankcase in the upright position, fit the
flywheel housing as follows:
For new 2000 series engines, the crankshaft rear oil
seal is fitted directly in the flywheel housing and the
joint between the flywheel housing and the crankcase
must be sealed by the use of a special sealant,
‘Loctite gasket eliminator 518’. Ensure that the faces
of the flywheel housing and crankcase are clean and
dry. Apply a continuous bead of ‘Loctite gasket
eliminator 518’ to the cylinder block as shown (A1). A 300

For earlier engines, which have a separate housing


for the crankshaft rear oil seal, the flywheel housing is
fitted directly onto the crankcase. No gasket is
required and sealant must NOT be applied.
Lift the housing onto the locating dowels and fit the
retaining bolts and washers. Tighten the bolts evenly
to a torque of 61 Nm (45 lbf ft).
37 Fit the flywheel guide studs, 21825 802, to the
crankshaft, position the flywheel using lifting bracket,
21825 817, ensure that it is correctly located over the
dowel and fit the retaining bolts. Remove the guide
studs, fit the remaining bolts and tighten all bolts to a
torque of 122 Nm (90 lbf ft).
38 Fit and secure the starter motor assembly.

Caution: This operation requires a high degree of


accuracy to avoid a false reading.
1 Remove the timing pointer cover from the flywheel
housing.
2 Remove the rocker covers and joints.
3 Turn the engine forward (clockwise viewed from the
front) until the valves of No. 6 cylinder are ‘rocking’
(i.e., inlet valve just opening and exhaust valve just 3 2
closing).
A 295
4 Adjust the clearance of the No. 1 cylinder inlet valve
to 0,89 mm (0.035 in).
5 Continue turning the engine forward until a 0,13 mm
(0.005 in) feeler gauge is just nipped between the
No. 1 inlet valve rocker arm and its valve stem. The
inlet valve opening mark ‘V1’ on the flywheel should
now be aligned with the flywheel housing timing
pointer.
6 If satisfactory, return the engine to the No. 6
cylinder valves ‘rocking’ position. If not, check the
timing gear marks (A).
On completion, proceed as follows:
1 Reset No. 1 cylinder inlet valve clearance to
0,25 mm (0.010 in) and fit the timing pointer cover.
2 Remove the joints from the rocker covers and
clean the corresponding faces of the covers and
cylinder head. Fit new joints to the rocker covers,
ensuring that they are correctly located within the
slots in each cover, and fit the covers. Secure each
cover with the three cap nuts and check that the
joints have not moved. Tighten the cap nuts evenly
to a torque of 11 Nm (8 lbf ft). Do NOT over tighten.

To assemble
Assembling of the unit is the reversal of the
dismantling procedure after the inspection process
has been completed.
The following points must be observed if a
satisfactory rebuild is to be achieved:
1 Ensure that the parts which have been marked for
alignment purposes are fitted correctly.
2 Bevelled faces of the retaining rings (A17) must be
assembled towards the bearings (A18).
3 Lightly smear all parts with a film of clean engine oil
prior to fitting.
4 Do not force seals (split ring) into bores as they may
fracture and cause binding.
5 Take care not to trap or damage the ‘O’ ring seal
(A9) when assembling the plate (A8) to the bearing
housing (A19).
6 Mount a dial test indicator gauge at the end of the
shaft and check the end float of the shaft between the
extreme positions.
Total travel should be between 0,10 mm to 0,16 mm
(0.004 to 0.006 in).
7 Mount the dial test indicator gauge on the
compressor impeller boss and check the extreme
radial travel by pushing the impeller towards and
away from, in turn, the dial test indicator.
Total travel should be between 0,46 mm and 0,30 mm
(0.018 to 0.012 in).
Note: Readings outside the acceptable travel limits
in paragraphs 6 or 7 will indicate that a complete
overhaul is necessary or that a service replacement is
required.

To clean and to inspect 18-4

To clean
1 Use a commercially approved non-caustic cleaning
solution to soak parts until all deposits have been
loosened.
2 Clean all aluminium parts with a bristle type brush
or plastic scraper. Vapour blast may be used except
on the shaft and bearing surfaces.
3 Blow compressed air through all drilled
passageways and ensure that the surfaces adjacent
to the turbine and compressor wheels are clean,
smooth and free from deposits.
To inspect
1 Inspect the shaft bearing journals and the walls of
the seal grooves for wear and excessive scratches.
Minor scratches may be tolerated.
2 Check the turbine and compressor wheels for
cracked or damaged blades but do NOT attempt to
straighten blades.
3 Check the thrust bearing surfaces for wear or
damage. Minor scratches are acceptable. Ensure
that the feed grooves in the thrust bearing are clean.
4 Replace the bearings if excessively scratched or
worn.
5 Replace the bearing housing if the bearing or seal
bores are severely scratched or worn.
6 Have the balance of the rotor assembly checked at
an establishment which has the relevant special
equipment and knowledge.
7 Replace the ‘O’ ring seal (A9).
8 Check the turbine housing for signs of rubbing,
flaking and overheating. Slight damage is acceptable
but otherwise the housing should be replaced.
9 Check the compressor housing for damage due to
contact with the rotor. Slight damage is acceptable
but otherwise the housing should be replaced.

General description
The engine has a wet sump type system. One of two
types of sump is fitted: a cast aluminium type or, for
recent engines, a version made from a composite
material. The capacity of the aluminium sump is 25
litres (5.5 UK gallons) to the maximum mark on the
dipstick and 18 litres (4 UK gallons) to the minimum
mark. The capacity of the composite sump is 41 litres
(9 UK gallons) to the maximum mark on the dipstick
and 34 litres (7.5 UK gallons) to the minimum mark.
The drain plug fitted to the sump depends on the type
of engine.

Two oilway studs in the top face of the crankcase
allow the passage of oil for lubrication of the rocker
gear, push rods and tappets.
Individual drillings from the main gallery supply oil,
under pressure, to the piston cooling jets. The jets,
fitted with an ‘O’ ring type seal, are fitted to the
underside of the main oil gallery. Oil flow from the jets
is continuous when the engine is running and is
directed at the inside of the piston.
The idler gear axle and bearing are supplied with oil
under pressure from the main gallery, with the gear
train being splash lubricated.
Oil to the fuel injection pump passes through drillings
in the mounting plate and backplate and returns to the
sump through a drain hole at the front of the pump.
For recent engines, lubricating oil is supplied to the
fuel injection pump by an external flexible pipe
connected to the main oil gallery of the crankcase.
Oil is delivered to the turbocharger bearings through
a steel pipe from the engine system and returns to the
sump through a flexible drain pipe.
Certain engines are fitted with an oil by-pass filter.
The by-pass filter uses centrifugal force to remove
particles from the oil. After the oil has passed through
the filter it is returned to the sump. The by-pass filter
is fitted in addition to the main oil filter canisters NOT

To dismantle and to assemble 20-2

To dismantle
1 Lightly grip the injector body in a vice and unscrew
the nozzle cap nut. 1
2 Withdraw the nozzle assembly, transfer block
spring cap, valve spring and adjusting shims.
3 Keep all the components from each injector
together in individual trays.
Caution: Each needle valve is matched to its 2
individual body and must not be used with any other
body.
To assemble 3

1 Lightly secure the injector body (A1) in a vice. 5


2 Insert the adjusting shims (A2), valve spring (A3) 4
and spring seat (A4). Locate the transfer block (A5)
around the spring seat. 6
3 Immerse the valve (A6) and nozzle (A7) in clean
test oil and slide the valve fully home. Locate the
assembly on the transfer block and fit the nozzle 7
cap nut (A8). Tighten the nut to a torque of 45 Nm
(34 lbf ft).

To clean and to inspect 20-3
A 153
To clean
If the facilities are available, the injectors should be
cleaned ultrasonically. Alternatively, proceed as
follows:
1 Wash the components of each injector in paraffin or
fuel oil and dry with a jet of dry compressed air.
2 Soak the nozzle in a carbon solvent and remove
any remaining carbon using the relevant cleaning kit,
together with a cleaning wire of the correct size. Wires
are not included in the kit and must be purchased
separately.
3 It is important that the correct size of wire is used to
clean the spray holes. Fit the wire into the holder with
a maximum protrusion of 1,5 mm (0.0652 in), this will
minimise the risk of the wire breaking in the nozzle
spray holes.
4 When the spray holes are cleared, re-soak each
nozzle in carbon solvent, rinse in clean water and dry
with a jet of dry compressed air. Dip in clean test oil.

5 Blow through in reverse flow direction to remove
any remaining loose particles.
Before purchasing cleaning kits, check the size of the
nozzle holes. The number of holes and hole size
varies depending on the age and type of engine.
To inspect
1 Use a magnifying glass to inspect each valve and
nozzle for damaged or worn seats and spray holes. If
the valve face or nozzle is discoloured, due to
overheating, both components must be renewed.
2 Dip the needle valve in clean test oil and insert it
fully into the nozzle bore, held in a near vertical
position.
3 Withdraw the valve by approximately one third of its
travel. When released the valve should slide onto its
seat under its own weight.
4 Inspect the pressure faces between the injector
body, transfer block and nozzle for signs of scratches
or damage which could allow leakage under pressure.
5 Check the shims for damage and inspect the
springs for distortion.

To set and to test 20-4

Warning! Fuel injectors should only be serviced by


personnel who have had the correct training and are
aware of the dangers associated with high pressure 1
fuel sprays.
A suitable test rig, such as a Testmaster or Poptest
MK3, is required for the testing of fuel injectors. The
test rig container must be filled with clean test oil
which conforms to the ISO standard 4113.
2
Warning! When testing a fuel injector, the nozzle
must be turned away from the operator, as the spray
has sufficient force to penetrate human skin. 3
1 Slacken the vent screw and operate the hand pump
until bubble-free test oil emerges. Tighten the screw 5
and continue pumping until bubble-free oil flows from 4
the discharge connection.
2 Connect the discharge connection to the injector 6
inlet and tighten securely. Close the pressure gauge
valve to prevent damage to the gauge and operate
the hand lever vigorously to expel air from the fuel 7
injector.
Opening pressure test
8
Open the valve of the pressure gauge a quarter turn,
operate the lever SLOWLY, and note the pressure to
which the gauge needle ‘flicks’ indicating the nozzle
A 153

valve opening. Opening pressure should read a


minimum of 240 bar (237 atmospheres).
If the pressure reading is incorrect the fuel injector
must be dismantled and adjusted by changing the
shims. Add shims to increase pressure; remove
shims to reduce pressure.
Leakage test
When the correct setting is obtained, dry the nozzle
tip and pump up the pressure slowly until the needle
indicates a reading of 20 bar (20.3 atmospheres)
below the opening pressure previously recorded.
Maintain this pressure for 10 seconds and then
inspect the nozzle tip.
Slight dampness is acceptable but there should be no
droplets of oil before the 10 seconds has elapsed. Do
NOT attempt to rectify any leakage by overtightening
the nozzle.
If droplets are forming within the 10 second period,
dismantle the nozzle holder assembly, clean the
parts, reassemble and perform the test again. If the
fuel injector fails the test again, the nozzle must be
renewed.

Perkins Engines Company Limited 133

This document has been printed from SPI². Not for Resale
20
Back leakage test
Pump up the pressure slowly until the gauge needle
indicates a reading of 230 bar (226 atmospheres).
Release the hand lever and note the time taken for
the pressure to drop naturally to 150 bar (150
atmospheres).
If the time taken is less than 6 seconds the nozzle
assembly must be rejected. Continue monitoring the
gauge and check the total time taken for it to register
100 bar (99 atmospheres). This time must not be less
than 45 seconds.
Prior to rejecting a nozzle assembly it is advisable to
ensure that pressure loss has not been caused by dirt
or carbon on the pressure faces. In the event of a high
number of rejections it is advisable to check that the
fault does not lie within the setting outfit.
Chatter and atomisation test
To perform the chatter and atomisation tests, switch
off the pressure gauge of the nozzle tester by closing
the shut-off valve. This will prevent damage to the
gauge.
When the hand lever is operated rapidly, the nozzle
must be heard to chatter and provide a well-atomised
spray of fuel.
Note: Slow movements of the hand lever will NOT
produce the same results.
If a nozzle assembly, which has been ultrasonically
cleaned, does not chatter, it MUST be renewed.
To perform the atomisation check, operate the hand
lever at approximately two strokes per second. Check
that each of the nozzle holes emits an equal and fully
atomised spray of oil. A spray pattern which is even
but not fully atomised is NOT acceptable.
The spray pattern produced by a used nozzle may
differ from the ideal pattern obtained from a new
nozzle, though the engine running behaviour may not
necessarily be impaired.
Note: Carbon build up within the injector nozzle will
cause low power from the engine. Ideally a flow check
should be performed if the necessary equipment is
available.
On completion of tests, fit protective caps or plugs
over the nozzle and open connections. Store the
injectors in a dry atmosphere until they are required.

To assemble
1 Pack the bearing with Shell Retinax ‘A’ grease. The
later type of bearing is ‘double-sealed’ and pre-
packed for life.
2 Ensure that the outer diameter of the bearing and
the inner diameter of the bearing housing are
completely free from oil and grease.
3 Use a brush to apply a coat of ‘Loctite 648’ to the
shoulder inside the bearing housing (A).
4 Press the bearing into the housing using the special
tool, 21825 904, with the sealed side of the bearing
leading.
5 Apply grease to the inside of the bearing housing A 324

and insert the two spacers.


6 Add a further smear of grease to the housing and
press in the outer cone of the roller bearing. Lightly
smear the inner part of the roller bearing with grease
and assemble in position.
7 Use a degreasing fluid to clean the shaft. The shaft
MUST be free from oil and grease. Apply a coating of
‘Loctite 648’ to the large diameter adjacent to the
flange (B).
8 Support the front end of the pump on the bearing
replacer, 21825 904, and press in the shaft to the limit
of its travel. Visually check, through the drain aperture
in the pump body, to ensure that the shaft is fully
inserted. Fit the circlip. B 325

9 Press in the ‘balanced’ seal over the shaft, using


tool, 21825 899, (C1).
10 Fit a new ceramic counterface seal into the
impeller. Do NOT touch the sealing face of the
ceramic counterface seal.
11 Support the pump under a press and press the 1
impeller onto the shaft until the front face of the
impeller is aligned with the end of the shaft.
12 Press a new oil seal into the front of the pump,
using special tool, 21825 903, with the open side of
the seal facing outwards.

13 Heat the hub in an oven to a temperature of 130°C
(226°F), or alternatively, immerse it in continually
boiling water for approximately five minutes.
Caution: Overheating of the hub may result in
damage to the seal lip.
14 Place the pump on the press with the lower end of
the shaft fully supported.
15 Remove the hub from the heating process and,
while it is still hot, press it onto the shaft firmly against
the inner race of the bearing.
16 It is now necessary to check the hub for tightness
on the shaft. Before doing so, the pump must be
allowed to stand until the hub has cooled completely. A 327

17 Fit a puller, 21825 837, to the pump hub (A) and


tighten the centre bolt to a torque of 27 Nm (20 lbf ft)
against the end of the shaft. The hub should remain
unmoved on the shaft. If movement occurs the shaft
and hub must be renewed.

To inspect 21-7

1 Inspect all of the components for damage or


corrosion.
2 Discard all seals and joints.
3 Measure the diameter of the shaft (A4) and the bore
of the hub (A14). The interference fit should be
between 0,036 and 0,055 mm (0.00145 and 0.0022 in).
If the interference measurement is not within these
limits, both the shaft and the hub must be renewed.
4 Clean and check the bearings (A8 and A11) for
wear or damage. Spin the ball bearing by hand to
check for roughness. Do NOT spin with a compressed
air jet.

Thermostat
4
Description
The thermostat (A1) is a wax-type triple-element unit
fitted to a housing (A2) above the coolant pump. It is
correctly located in the housing by a roll-pin (A3),
fitted in the rim. This ensures that the valves are
correctly positioned over the by-pass ports.
To extract the thermostat, remove the thermostat
housing cover (A4) and lift out the unit. The
thermostat requires no servicing and must be
replaced if it becomes defective. Sticking valves may 3
be rectified by applying silicone grease to the spindles
and operating the valves by hand until they are free.
Note: Silicone grease should be applied to the valve
spindles of a replacement thermostat prior to fitting, or
if the engine is to stand for a period with the coolant
system drained.

How to check the operating


temperatures 21-8

1 Mark the strap of the leading valve and place the 1


thermostat, the correct way up, in a container filled
with water to the level of the valve platform. Position 2
a thermometer in the water as close as possible to the A 319
valves.
2 Heat the water, and note the temperature at
which the leading valve opens sufficiently to admit
a 0,05 mm (0.002 in) feeler gauge.
3 Continue heating and note the opening
temperature of the two trailing valves.
4 Continue heating, noting the temperature at which
each valve stops moving and is fully open, i.e.,
approximately 9 mm (0.375 in) of travel.
5 Compare the readings with the following limits:
New 2000 series engines:
Leading valve open: 77,5 to 79,5°C (171.5 to 175°F)
Trailing valve open: 81,5 to 83,5°C (179 to 182°F)
All valves fully open: 93,5 to 96°C (200 to 205°F)
Earlier engines:
Leading valve open: 77 to 79°C (171 to 174°F)
Trailing valve open: 81 to 83°C (178 to 181°F)
All valves fully open: 93 to 96°C (199 to 205°F)

21
How to check the operating speed 21-9

1 Immerse the thermostat, with all the valves fully


closed, in boiling water to the level of the valve
platform. Note the time taken, after immersion, for
each valve to open sufficiently to admit a 0,05 mm
(0.002 in) feeler gauge.
2 Maintain the water at boiling point and note the time
taken, from immersion, for all valves to open fully.
3 Remove the thermostat and plunge it into cold
water, noting the time taken for all valves to close
fully.
4 Compare the readings taken with the following
limits:
Leading valve starts to open: Within 15 seconds
Trailing valves start to open: Within 20 seconds
All valves fully open: Within 60 seconds
All valves closed in cold water: 4 to 8 seconds
5 Should a thermostat fail to operate satisfactorily
within the given limits it must be replaced
Caution: If a replacement thermostat is not
available, it will be necessary as a temporary
measure only, to jack the valves fully open and run
the engine with the radiator partly banked off. DO
NOT run the engine without a thermostat fitted as this
will cause the engine to overheat.

Alternator
The alternator fitted to current engines will be rated at
55 or 70 amps, depending on application.
Each type of alternator is fitted with an integral
regulator. The regulator requires no adjustment
during service and is a non-repairable item.
It is not advisable to attempt repairs to the alternator.
Such work requires specialist equipment and
knowledge. Should alternator failure occur, operators
are advised to take advantage of the Perkins service
exchange scheme.
Starter motor
As specialist equipment and knowledge are
necessary to overhaul the starter motor assembly, it
is recommended that an exchange unit is fitted. If the
equipment and expertise are available, the
instructions for starter motor overhaul are given in this
section.
The starter motor is a 24 volt unit, actuated by an
externally mounted solenoid switch through a lever
arm. The pinion assembly incorporates a positive
engagement device, an overload clutch and a
freewheel ratchet. It is mounted on the flywheel
housing.
Operation of the starter switch energises the pull-in
and hold-in coils and actuates the solenoid to move
the pinion into mesh with the starter ring. Should the
teeth abut, the pinion moves back against its spring
load and rotates slightly until engagement occurs.
The starting contacts then close in parallel with the
pull-in coil, which is de-energised, and full torque is
applied.
If engine resistance is excessive the pinion clutch
comes into operation.
When the engine starts, the pinion is allowed to run
free, in mesh with the starter ring, until the starter
switch is released. The hold-in coil is then de-
energised, allowing the return spring in the solenoid
switch to disengage the pinion through the lever arm.
Certain engines are fitted with control switches.
These are set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
Discard if faulty

Alternator drive belts
2 2
To check and to adjust the tension 23-1

To check
Check all drive belts and renew a belt if it is worn or
damaged. Where more than one belt is used between
two pulleys, all of the belts must be renewed together.
See section 21 for details about the fan drive belts.
Check the alternator belt tension at the centre of the
longest free length (A1).
Use a V-belt tension gauge to check the tension of the
belt. The correct tension for all belts is 400 to 489 N
(90 to 100 lbf).
Note: When a new belt is fitted it must be checked
again after the engine has been run for 15 minutes
and, if necessary, adjusted to the correct tension.
To adjust the tension
Loosen the two bolts (A2) and rotate the alternator on
the pivot bolt to tighten the belt to the correct tension. 1
Tighten the two bolts.
Check again the belt to ensure that the tension is still
correct. Maximum belt life will be obtained only if belts
are kept at the correct tensions.
Where more than one belt is used between two
pulleys, check/adjust the tension on the tightest belt.

To test 23-8

Caution: Ensure that the 24 volt electrical supply is


connected to the correct terminals and that the
insulation on the connection wires is not damaged.
1 Connect a 24 volt supply to terminals 1 and 3, push
back the pinion assembly and, using a 4,76 mm
(0.187 in) gauge, check the clearance between the
pinion front face and its thrust washers (A). Adjust, as
necessary, by turning the shift lever using the special
tool (described in operation 23-4) as shown (B), with
the switch de-energised. Do NOT leave the switch
energised for more than 30 seconds. A 330
Caution: Adjustments must not be made while the
solenoid is energised. Do NOT energise the solenoid
for more than 30 seconds.
2 Replace the rubber plug in the solenoid switch, fit
both jumper leads and apply a few drops of SAE 5W/
20 oil to each of the three lubricating points (C).
3 Test the solenoid switch for correct operating
sequence, as follows:
Fit a locally manufactured solid distance piece to the
pinion shaft to retain the drive - to prevent the pinion
gear from moving axially. Connect a 24 volt supply
across terminals 1 and 3, and check with an Avometer
that no reading is recorded between terminals 2 and
3 (D). B 331

To fit the main starter cables 23-9

Caution: The main positive (red) starter cable is


fitted to the terminal on the solenoid switch and the
main negative (black) starter cable is fitted to the
terminal on the end cover of the starter motor.
1 Fit the lugs of the relevant cables to the two
terminals. Ensure that the polarity of the cables is
correct and fit the locking washers and the lock nuts,
or the stiffnuts if relevant.
2 Hold a 19 mm (0.75 in) A/F spanner on the inner lock

Engine stop solenoid
Description 1 2
The solenoid switch is mounted on the side of the fuel
injection pump. It is used in the energised-to-run
mode and is connected to the governor stop control
lever.
When it is energised, the dual circuits in the solenoid
activate a plunger which moves the stop control lever
to the RUN position.
A pull-in coil draws the plunger until the internal switch 3
contacts open. This breaks the circuit of the pull-in coil
and leaves a low-consumption hold-in coil energised A 334

to retain the stop lever in the RUN position.


When the stop solenoid is de-energised, a coil spring
returns the plunger to its rest position and the stop
control lever to STOP. This occurs when the STOP
button is pressed, when an engine protection device
breaks the circuit or as the result of an electrical
failure.

How to adjust the linkage 23-10

To enable the solenoid to energise in the shortest


possible time, the linkage must be adjusted as
follows: B 135

1 Disconnect the electrical supply, slacken the lock


nut (A3) and rotate the rod (A2) until the linkage is
disconnected. 1
2 Connect a 24 volt DC supply of electricity and
energise the solenoid. Ensure that the connections
are fitted to the correct positions. The red wire is
positive, the black wire is negative and the grey wire
is for the indicator.
Note: During the application of electric current to the
solenoid, ensure that the plunger is located correctly
in the solenoid body (B).
2 3
3 Ensure that the linkage is fitted to the control lever
(C3). Energise the solenoid and move the stop control C 136
lever (C3) to the maximum RUN position (toward the
solenoid).
4 Hold the lever at this position and adjust the lock nut
(C1) until its rear face is level with the front of the rod
(C2) as shown. Ensure that the lock nut is not
moved from this position on the thread.
5 Connect the linkage to the solenoid and rotate the
rod (C2) until it reaches the lock nut. Hold the lock nut
with a suitable spanner and tighten the rod securely
against the lock nut.
6 Energise and de-energise the solenoid to check the
operation.

Auxiliary equipment 24

Compressor
Description
Certain engines may be fitted with a compressor. The
compressor will be one of two types: a single cylinder
version for early engines, or a twin cylinder version for
new 2000 series engines.
The single cylinder compressor is a 293 cc water
cooled unit flange mounted to the rear of the
wheelcase backplate. It is gear driven from the
camshaft at 1.212 times engine speed.
The twin cylinder compressor is a 440 cc water cooled
unit flange mounted to the rear of the wheelcase
backplate. It is gear driven from the camshaft at 1.212
times engine speed. A 336

If the compressor requires an overhaul, it is advisable


to fit a reconditioned unit. These are available from
authorised Perkins dealers.

To remove and to fit 24-1

To remove
1 Using a 5/16 in allen key remove the hydraulic pump
and coupling, where fitted, from the rear of the
compressor.
2 Drain the engine coolant into a suitable clean
container.
3 Disconnect and remove the rubber coolant pipe
from between the compressor and the crankcase.
4 Remove the compressor air intake filter assembly,
or disconnect the air intake pipe from the induction
system (whichever is fitted).
5 Unscrew the steel coolant pipe from the front of the
compressor cylinder head. Do NOT bend the pipe.
6 Disconnect the oil feed pipe, free it from its clips,
and remove it from the engine.
7 Unscrew the three compressor securing nuts and
washers.
8 Support and carefully withdraw the compressor (A).
Discard the gasket.

To fit
1 If the drive gear has been removed, either refit the
original gear or fit a new gear, as required.
Caution: On certain applications the compressor is
fitted with a ‘balanced’ crankshaft. These units are
identified with alignment marks on both the crankshaft
end and the drive gear. To ensure that these marks
are correctly aligned on assembly, refer to operation
24-2.
2 Clean both joint faces and fit a new gasket over the
three compressor mounting bolts.
3 Slide the compressor into position ensuring that it
engages with the camshaft gear. Fit the nuts and
washers and tighten securely.
4 Fit and secure the oil feed pipe and the two coolant
pipes.
5 Fit the air intake filter assembly or connect the pipe
to the induction system (whichever is fitted).
6 Refill the engine cooling system with coolant.
7 Where necessary, fit the hydraulic pump and
coupling.

Compressor gear alignment 24-2

The following procedure is necessary for marking the


compressor crankshaft for gear alignment when this
has not been completed during manufacture, and
also for ensuring correct drive gear to crankshaft
alignment during reassembly.
1 View the compressor crankshaft from the threaded
drive end. Looking through the mounting flange cast
slots (A1) rotate the crankshaft until the balance 1
weight is at Bottom Dead Centre (BDC). This is
confirmed by ensuring that the balance weight cheeks
are equally displaced below the horizontal centreline A BDC
175
on both sides looking through the slots.
2 With the machined base of the compressor
crankcase sitting on a flat surface check that the
machined tongue (B1) on the non-threaded
crankshaft end lies horizontally. Scribe a vertical line
centrally on the crankshaft threaded end from the
centreline to BDC (A).
1
Check again that the crankshaft machined tongue lies
horizontally.
Lightly ‘centre punch’ a dot at BDC on the vertical
scribed line (A) at approximately 6.0 mm radius.
3 Before fitting the compressor drive gear ensure that
both the crankshaft taper and the gear bore are
thoroughly clean and free from oil. B 176

Place the gear on the taper shaft and align the


crankshaft dot mark (C1) with the dot on the gear end
face (C2) so that the gear balance weight is also at
BDC.
Fit the gear retaining washer, lightly oil the threads
of the nut and tighten it to a torque of 180 ±20 Nm
(132 ±14 lbf ft). For new 2000 series engines the nut
should be tightened to between 200 and 250 Nm (148
to 184 lbf ft).
1
Check that the dot marks on both the crankshaft and
the gear remain correctly aligned.

Running-in and test 25

General description
Every new or reconditioned engine which is supplied
by Perkins Engines Limited is run and tested before it
is received by the customer. There is no requirement
for the running-in of the engine when it is initially in
use, but it is recommended that the engine is
operated in accordance with the instructions which
are given in section 3 of the User’s Handbook TSD
3215.
A period of running-in, which is relevant to the rating
of the engine, should be done in accordance with the
instructions given below when:
z A 2000 series engine has had a complete
overhaul.
z The engine has been built with the use of a long
engine, which consists of an assembly of the basic
components which are new or which have been
reconditioned - the crankcase, the cylinder liners,
the crankshaft, the connecting rods, the pistons
and the cylinder heads.
z A partial overhaul has used new cylinder liners,
new piston rings and new bearings.

Running-in and test

To run the engine 25-1

Caution: Before the engine is run, ensure that the


temporary lubricating oil filters, part number
OE43712, are fitted to the oil inlet in the bearing
housing of each turbocharger. The filters MUST be
removed and discarded when the total period of
running-in is finished; before the engine goes into
service, the correct joints must be fitted in their
places.
1 Prepare the engine as given in section 3 of the
User’s Handbook TSD 3215.
2 Start the engine and run it without a load. Check
that the oil pressure is correct. Inspect the lubricating
oil system and the coolant system for leakage and
then stop the engine.
3 Correct all leakage and add more lubricating oil and
coolant, if necessary, to the correct levels. The
schedule for the running-in of a 2000 series engine
rated at 1500 rev/min, 1800 rev/min or 2100 rev/min
is given below:

Load or power Period


Phase Rev/min
rating (minutes)
1 Rated speed Min load 5
2 Rated speed 25% of max load 10
3 Rated speed 50% of max load 10
4 Rated speed 75% of max load 10
5 Rated speed Max load 10

4 It is possible to overload the engine during phase 5


and, to prevent this, the load and the speed must be
checked at the start of the period. During the running-
in, if there is excessive noise or vibration, the cause
should be found. The engine should be checked for
leakage of fluids. If there are leakages, they must be
corrected after the running-in is finished.
The engine must only be stopped at the end of a
period, or if there is an emergency.
5 When the schedule is finished and the running-in
has been acceptable, check the consumption rate of
the engine lubricating oil, operation 25-2.

25
To check the consumption rate of the engine The method for the calculation of the consumption
lubricating oil 25-2 rate of the engine lubricating oil, when the weights of
the oil are in pounds (lb), is as follows:
The check given below is suitable for an engine which Initial weight of the oil - final weight = litres/hour
is rated at 1500 rev/min or 1800 rev/min. 2.2
1 Ensure that the level of the engine lubricating oil is An acceptable consumption rate will not exceed 1,02
exactly to the ‘H’ mark on the dipstick. litres/hour.
2 Run the engine at its rated speed and power until
the normal temperatures of the coolant and the
engine lubricating oil are reached:
Coolant temperature at outlet 68°/85°C
Engine lubricating oil 90°/105°C
3 Run the engine at the minimum load for two
minutes. Stop the engine and check the level of the
engine lubricating oil on the dipstick. Fill with new
engine lubricating oil to the ‘H’ mark if necessary.
4 Drain immediately the engine lubricating oil from
the sump and from the heat exchanger into separate
containers for exactly 20 minutes. The heat
exchanger should be drained through the lowest
point, which is the drain plug in the end of the housing.
5 Measure separately the weight of each container
with its contents and make a record of the weights.
6 Fit the drain plugs in the sump and the heat
exchanger and return the original engine lubricating
oil to the sump. Measure the weight of the empty
containers and make a record of the weight.
7 Find the difference in the weight of the containers
when with and without the lubricating oil. This will give
the total weight of the lubricating oil. Make a record of
this total.
8 Run the engine at its rated speed with 90% of the
maximum load, for two hours.
Caution: If the engine is stopped during this phase,
the test must be started again from paragraph 1.
9 At the end of the two hours, continue to run the
engine without load for two more minutes. Stop the
engine and repeat the procedures given in
paragraphs 4, 5, 6 and 7.
