IMPORTANT: These instructions cover only the
routine maintenance of the engine. Refer to your
Perkins Engine Distributor for engine diagnosis,
repair and component replacement.
A gradual running in of a new engine is not
necessary. Full load can be applied to a new
engine as soon as the engine is put into service
and the coolant temperature is at least 140 °F
(60 °C). Extended light load operation during the
early life of the engine is not recommended. Do
not run engine at high no load speeds. Do not
apply an overload to the engine.

Standard Maintenance Practices
It is assumed that gaskets will be replaced and
gasket faces will be cleaned, where applicable.
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 such as fuel system equipment,
exposed by removal or disassembly, will be
covered until reassembled to prevent the entry of
foreign material.
Use a suitable sealant such as Loctite ® when
installing screws into " through" holes into the
interior of the engine.
NOTE: Screw threads which have been sealant
coated can be identified by their red or blue etc.
color.
Unified Threads
All threads used on the engine are Unified Series
and American Pipe Series.
Unified threads are not interchangeable with BSF
and although BSW have the same number of
threads per inch as Unified Coarse Series, inter-
changing is not recommended, due to a difference
in thread form.
