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.

Six-cylinder, 288 cu. in. (4.7 L) diesel engine, rated at

1938-01 to 86 bhp at 2,600 rpm. The highly successful P-series of

1961-04 engines established Perkins' reputation as one of the
world's major builders of diesel engines.[3]

1962 108 bhp at 2,700 rpm and 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. Although, the problems were
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]

Six-cylinder, 377 cu. in. (7.4 L) diesel engine. Very

1939-05 to similar to the highly successful P6, the S6 was rated at

rated at 112 bhp at 2,800 rpm and later at 120 bhp.
Highly successful engine which restored Perkins'
1960 to reputation after the problematic R6. Developments of

1996 the engine, including turbocharged versions remained
in production until 1996, by which time over a million
had been built at Peterborough plus substantial
numbers in other countries.[7]

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.
