Timely engine service helps
equipment owners extend the life cycles of their investments, minimise downtime
and support sustainability initiatives.
To support these customers,
Perkins has introduced four new overhaul kits for six-cylinder PerkinsĀ® 2000
Series engines that provide budget-friendly alternatives to replace and restore
engines to like-new performance.
Available now from Perkins
distributors worldwide, the overhaul kits include the genuine Perkins parts
needed for technicians to perform progressively complex levels of service,
based on running time and condition.
The overhaul kits provide
the factory fit and performance of genuine Perkins parts, simplify ordering
with a single part number, supply peace of mind with a 12-month standard
Perkins warranty, and support sustainability initiatives by decreasing the flow
of waste to landfills while minimising the raw materials and energy otherwise
required to produce new parts.
Range
of solutions to support your needs
ā¢ The Copper Kit for top
end overhaul targets the upper areas of the engine, such as the cylinder head
and valve train, to address concerns like increasing compression, preventing
oil leakage and contamination, optimising valve performance, and minimising
emissions. A top end overhaul is typically needed every 8,000 hours though this
can vary based on the operational environment and maintenance schedule. The
copper kit includes various components such as the cylinder head gasket, head
bolt, rocker cover seal, oil filter, fuel filter, and thermostats.
ā¢ The Bronze Kit is the
right solution for maintaining an engineās performance. Designed specifically
for engines with 12,000-15,000 hours of operation, this comprehensive kit
addresses both top and bottom end components to ensure a thorough refresh of
critical engine parts. It tackles wear in gaskets and seals, addresses
performance degradation, and prepares the engine for heavy usage.
ā¢ The Silver Kit offers a
more comprehensive engine renewal, designed for engines with 12,000-15,000
hours of use. It includes all the components of the Bronze Kit plus pistons and
cylinder liners. This kit is ideal for engines with significant wear in the pistons
or cylinders, substantial drop in engine performance, or preparing for
demanding operations, extending the engineās lifespan, and improving
performance.
ā¢ The Platinum Kit is
designed for major overhauls typically required within 12,000-15,000 operating
hours, to ensure peak performance and extended operational reliability. With
everything from the Silver Kit plus essential components including oil pump,
water pump, fuel lift pump, fuel injectors, and valve train kit included, the
Platinum Kit is designed to handle major overhauls and prepare the engine for
long-lasting performance.

used in applications such as generator sets, hydraulic excavators and large
industrial pumps and compressors.
Selecting the appropriate
overhaul kit for an engine relies on its running time and current condition. It
is important to review the engineās Operational Maintenance Manual and seek
guidance from a qualified technician to ensure the correct kit is utilised.
