Good for you, to give back to the community for anybody in the future who may need similar info. Those who make the effort to give back are a very tiny fraction of all users.

I've got an '86 4.236 on a Cat loader-backhoe. It has plenty power, cranks on second turn and idles with a purr at 450 rpm with oil pressure over 40 psi... No leaks anywhere. A lot of keeled sailboats use these for auxiliary power. The US corporate headquarters/distribution center for Perkins is in Jacksonville. Just across the river 20 miles from me.

since its an engine with a timing gear and not timing chains or belts, would there be any problems if one were to ratete it backwards? or does it always stay in sync no matter which way you rotate it?
i am asking, because i have rotated my 1988, 6 cyl, MWM engine, backwards to adjust valve setting, because the engine is mounted and it as easier to rotate it backwards/ counterclockwise.

let me know if there is reason for concern....

thanks

I’d sure like to know if that distributor gear can jump timing, with the cover in place?
My starter was cranked, ever so briefly, but I managed to align and install the pump, and haven’t pulled the cover to investigate.

Master, in 6cylinder Perkins turbo engine why the timing marks of the gears are not return to its original timing mark says there that two revolution of crankshaft and it will return to orginal timing

[benbeairk]

Now could the marks line up on the gear you can see through the 4 bolt cover like you said and not be at tdc?

Brian, I have a couple of off topic questions I hope you can answer for me. My father passed a while back and I am cleaning up the garage. I ran across several full cans of R12 refrigerant. Is there any market for R12 anymore? Is it legal for someone like me to sell it? Thanks

Do you know how to lock the crankshaft gear on a perkins 1106a 70t ? I have cylinder 6 on the rock.
Timing Mark's aligned on gears at the front. Cam shaft lock pin is in however on the 1103 and 1104 there is a pin that locks the crank but on the 1106 it's not there. Any info you can help me with I would be grateful cheers

Just wondering if you know which mark for flywheel timing is required for a P[erkins 236 on a Massey Ferguson 175? Thank you

I've been working on this 88 Camry 3sfe for some time now. I was checking grounds and continuity. I considered buying a tone generator tool that you used on d6Spanky corolla fuel issue video. I did find some interesting readings yesterday with continuity checks. The VTA wire and IDL wire from the throttle sensor to the computer. IDL gave a consistent reading. VTA was unstable. Now I do want a tone generator. Trace down the short.

Is that to take it to top dead center im replacing an injection pump on a perkins 2160

[mauricioibarra]

Hi Friends, is this info good for a 1104D - 44t engine? thank you.

[SteveRobReviews]

Looks quite similar to my Kubota 2 cyl diesels. Cheers bud .

[flattarga]

The idler should have a hunting tooth ( one more than twice the other gears, 24-49 etc) in it and you should be able to take it off and line a the other marks up and put it back on. At least that is how it works on the engines I have worked on.

[Nudnik]

I had a few motors which appear half a tooth off not on mark. I put paint marks or scribe before disassembly to avoid issues. One odd tooth on one gear insures equal wear since two teeth never consistently mesh on the same power pulse. Ducati has this idea .

Look up a Napier Deltec engine ..

[franciswanuke]

Help me have the same engine which I am rebuilding after finishing all tried to start it's failing to start.timing it's correct, fuel is coming out nicely

[stratta_yt]

Oh man this takes me back to 2012-2013 where I worked on a few engines.
