I bought this back around 2013-2014. Back then, Perkins was going to stop selling new 400 series engines except to OEM's. I ordered as many as I could afford, an assortment of 3 and 4 cylinders, turbo and naturally aspired, variable and fixed speed(generator). I have a few oddballs left. This was a fixed speed non-turbo. I converted it to a variable speed turbo, the fastest moving of the bunch.
Since then, Perkins has been offering the same engine but as a new replacement engines. Because of emission laws, they cant go into newer stuff.
Before we put the engine in, we pulled the glow plugs and spun it with an air drill until it made oil pressure. Could've been done by now but am fixin up stuff along the way. New fuel lines from the tank, upgrading the fuel/water separator. Replacing the radiator hoses.
