PERKINS INJECTOR PUMP
Ernie,
I removed the injector pump off of the Perkins yesterday and today I sent it off to Superior Diesel Inc. in North Charleston, SC for a rebuild. http://www.superiordieselengines.com/ I was quoted an estimate of $500.00 for the rebuild if it is what they refer to as a NORMAL rebuild, where no major parts other than what is normally replaced in a rebuild, have to be replaced. They will not just replace the O ring, but will only do a complete rebuild. I had them rebuild my injectors for the Perkins, shortly after I got the 'Bird three years ago and I have been satisfied with their work. I had checked with some online companies that rebuild Perkins injectors and they were from $600.00 to $700.00 for a normal rebuild. Mine was working fine with easy starts, but it was leaking around the head of the pump, where the two sections come together and there is a large O ring that seals that area. My genset has 7,885 hours on it, so I look at this as nothing unusual, unless they inform me otherwise. The pump comes of a little more difficult than what the Perkins Workshop Manual indicates that it should, but with all of the magic words and some patience I was able to get the job done. the most difficult part was getting the Allen head bolt off of the inside of the pump mount, it took a combination of both 3/8 and 1/4 inch drive extensions and sockets used separately as there is very little room to maneuver back there due to one bolt on the injector housing that can't be removed with the pump mounted, that is right in line with the Allen headed mount bolt. I took a lot of digital photos before I started so that I will make sure that I get it back on the correct way. The timing that you were referring to, is nothing other than matching the two scribed lines aligned up, one on the injector mount base and one on the block mounting surface before tightening up the pump, the mount holes at the base of the pump housing are slotted and allow you to rotate the pump until these two lines match. I had to clean off all of the paint in order to see those marks as they are not scribed very deep, especially the one on the block. I verified all of this with David in the injector rebuild shop at Superior, they are the Southeast USA distributor for Perkins Engines and they do a lot of marine engine rebuilding there, so they know what they are talking about. When I get the rebuilt pump back and do the re-installation, I will put together a detailed R&R instructions with photos on my web site for future reference, by anybody that wants to use it, if they have to do theirs.

Thanks John, for the information. Some things I will attempt, If I feel
confident enough- some things I won't attempt. This sounds like the latter. I'm going to a place in Ft Worth next week, and see what they will charge. Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Weatherford, tx --really mechanically challenged [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
