Engine identification

The New 1000 Series consists of a range of both four and six cylinder engines. Each range has three basic engine types, naturally aspirated, turbocharged and turbocharged with an intercooler.

There are different model variations within each range. Identification of the various models is by a system of numbers and letters, for example:

1006-60TW

1006 = 6 cylinder engine

60 = 6 litre engine

T = Turbocharged

TW = Turbocharged, but with an air to water intercooler to cool the induction air between the turbocharger and the cylinders.

The different engine types are indicated by their code letters, which are the first two letters of the engine number as indicated below:

The correct identification of the engine is by the full engine number.

The engine number is stamped on a label (A2) which is fastened to the left side of the cylinder block. An example of the engine number is: AK80920*U510256F*

If you need parts, service or information for your engine, you must give the complete engine number to your Perkins distributor. If there is a number in the area of the label marked TPL number, then this number must also be given to your Perkins distributor.

Other identification labels fitted to the engine include:

An emissions legislation label (A3) fitted to the side of the cylinder block.

A label (A1) with the fuel injection pump part numbers.
