FOREWORD
This workshop manual has been compiled for use in conjunction with normal workshop practice.
Mention of certain accepted practices therefore, has been purposely omitted in order to avoid
repetition.
Reference to renewing joints and cleaning off joint faces has to a great extent been omitted from
the text, it being understood that this will be carried out where applicable.
Similarly, it is understood that in reassembly and inspection, all parts are to be thoroughly
cleaned and where present, burrs and scale are to be removed.
It follows that any open ports of high precision components, e.g., fuel injection equipment, ex-
posed by dismantling, will be blanked off until reassembled, to prevent the ingress of foreign
matter.
: When setscrews or studs are fitted into holes which are tapped through into the inside of
: the engine, a suitable sealant must be used on the threads.
Throughout this manual, whenever the "left" or "right" hand side of the engine is referred to, it is
that side of the engine as viewed from the flywheel end.
The engine number is stamped on the fuel pump mounting flange as shown in the above
illustration.
Three systems of engine numbering have been used.
On very early engines the serial number consisted of seven digits as follows : -
Engine Type Typical Engine Number
4.108 7300269
4.107 7100399
4.99 7000251
Identification on these engines can be identified by cbserving the first two figures of the engine
number which remain constant depending on engine type.
With later engines, the number consisted of figures and letters
Engine Type Typical Engine Number
4.108 108U251
4.107 107U251
4.99 99U251
The first figures represent the capacity of the engine in cubic inches, the letter "U" signifies that
the engine was built in the United Kingdom and the last group of figures comprises the engine
serial number.
On current engines, the number can consist of up to fifteen letters and figures, a typical number
being ED21512U510256D
Page4 ~ Safety precautions
THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. Reference must also be made to the local
regulations in the country of operation.
Clean away any fuel which has fallen and move material which has fuel contamination to a safe
place.
Do not put fuel in the tank during engine operation (unless really necessary).
Never clean, lubricate or adjust the engine during operation (unless you have had the correct
training when extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).
Persons in the area must be kept clear during engine and equipment or vehicle operation.
Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near parts which move.
Keep away from parts which turn during operation. Note that fans can not be seen clearly while
the engine is run.
Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot and the coolant is under pressure as
dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
Do not use salt water in the cooling system or any other coolant which can cause corrosion.
Keep sparks or fire away from batteries (especially during charge) or combustion can occur.
The battery fluid can burn and is also dangerous to the skin and especially the eyes.
Disconnect the battery terminals before you make a repair to the electrical system.
Ensure the engine is only operated from the control panel or operators position.
If your skin comes into contact with high pressure fuel, get medical assistance immediately.
Diesel fuel can cause skin damage to some persons. Use protection on the hands (gloves or
special skin protection solutions).
Ensure that the transmission drive control is in "Out of Drive" position before the engine is
started.

Where engines are called upon to operate in rarefied atmospheres occasioned by altitude, such engines should be
de-rated.
The following table is given as a general guide, which may be applied on a percentage basis, where specific figures
for a particular engine rating are not available.
Any necessary adjustments in this respect to the fuel pump should be carried 01.11 by the C.A.V. dealer or Perkins
Distributor for the territory concerned.

of the Perkins Companies listed on Page 2.
TECHNICAL DATA-B.2
The following torque figures will apply with the components lightly oiled before assembly:-
*The tab and shim washers may be discarded where used on earlier engines, but the setscrews must be tightened
to the torque loading indicated.
The following "wear limits" indicate the condition when it is recommended that the respective items should be servicec
or replaced.
*Where vehicle engines have to conform with the smoke density regulation B.S.AU 141 a: 1971, then the valve depths
must not exceed production limits as given on page B.8.

The cylinder liners fitted to the 4.108 series engines are

fit in the cylinder block parent bore and of the thinwall
dry type.
Reboring of these liners is not possible and new liners
should be fitted when a rebore would normally be con-
sidered necessary.
The exception is 4.108 refrigeration unit engines which
can be rebored to 0.020 in (0,51 mm) oversize. It must
be noted that the oversize pistons for these engines
are only suitable for this type of application due to the
special operating conditions.
Dimensional checks of the cylinder bore are carried
out by means of the gauge tool shown in Fig. G.1.
When checking liners each one should be measured
in three positions - top, centre and bottom; the read-
ings being taken parallel and at right angles to the
centre line of the cylinder block giving six readings
for each cyl inder bore.

Oil PRESSURE
Always ensure that with the engine running, oil
pressure is registering on the gauge or the oil pressure
warning light is extinguished.
Pressures do vary according to climatic conditions
and even between individual engines, but the oil pres-
sure range at normal working speed and temperature
is given on Page B.9. The pressure will drop whilst
the engine is idling and also a slight drop will be ex-
perienced when the oil is hot, this is quite normal. If,
however, the oil pressure is suspected of being too
high or too low then reference to the possible faults
listed under these headings given on Page D.1, may
prove helpful. l10

Oil Filter Assembly
In some instances the setscrews securing the filter
head to the cylinder block are enclosed within the
filter head and bowl assembly as shown in Fig. L.11.
With this arrangement, the filter bowl has to be re-
moved before the filter head can be detached from the
block.
When fitting the filter head joint, ensure that the holes
in the joint line up with the corresponding drillings in
the cylinder block.
ByPass Valve
Should the lubricating oil filter element be allowed
to become contaminated to the extent where the lubri-
cating oil has difficulty in passing through the element,
then a pressure difference will build up between the
inlet and outlet sides of the filter assembly. When this
pressure reaches the figure given on Page B.10, a ball
valve will open in the filter headcasting and allow un-
filtered oil to by-pass the filter element to prevent the
engine being starved of oil. l12

Two different types of pump are used, depending upon
the application. In one type of pump the impeller shaft
is supported by two separate bearings, as shown in
Fig. M.3 and in the other the bearings are combined
with the shaft to form one assembly, as shown in Fig.
M.4. The lastest pumps of both types incorporate a
stationary seal that registers on a ceramic counterface
revolving with the impeller. Earlier pumps incorporate
a revolving seal that registers on a stationary counter-
face fitled in an insert fixed to the pump body, as
shown in Fig. M.5. In earlier pumps to the type shown
in Fig. M.5, the seal registers directly on to the insert.

case the starter motor requires removal from the
engine for a full examination.
(a) Operation
This drive incorporates a protective feature known as
the 'Run-off Helix'. The purpose of this feature is to
prevent possible damage occuring to the starter motor
through excessive torque being applied while the
pinion is in engagement, as would arise for example
in the event of an engine back-fire during starting.
Under normal conditions of engagement, axial move-
ment of the pinion is arrested when, in th'3 one direc-
tion, the first cup washer has fully compressed the re-
straining spring and is abutted hard against the second
cup washer and, in the opposite direction, the helically
screwed sleeve is pressing the thrust washer hard
against the main spring.

of greater compression than is the equivalent stan-
dard 's' pattern drive spring. In addition, the trailing
