The Perkins 4108 marine diesel engine

Whats inside that motor and are parts still available?

A little looking around says parts are easy to find, ADT in Cape Town are the local agents and I have bought a spare top end gasket set for as little as R150, about U$18.00.


  • Cylinder liners x 4 - (standard liner size)
  • Pistons x 4 - these are the correct 5 ring pistons
  • Gudgeon pins x 4
  • Gudgeon pin circlips x 8
  • Piston ring sets x 4
  • Small end bushes x 4
  • Big end bearing set (4 pairs)
  • Main bearing set (3 pairs)
  • Thrust washer set (3 halves)
  • Top gasket set - includes valve seals and injector copper washers
  • Cylinder head gasket - top quality and lined with silicon water jacket sealant
  • Bottom gasket set - includes gaskets for marine versions
  • Front and rear crankshaft oil seals
  • Set of core plugs
  • Fuel lines washers and seals set
This looks like fun!

The next question is where do I find an old Perkins 4108 engine in need need of a re build?
