Some help please with a Perkins engine.

[Vintage Smoke]

Thanks for adding me to the forum! I am working on a bit of an odd application. It's a Perkins 4cyl diesel engine in a 1972 Land Rover. I know absolutely nothing of the history of the vehicle, the engine, or the engine swap although I am quickly learning a bit about the Perkins diesels.

The oil pan on the engine has been hacked up...cut, welded, re-cut, and re-welded, until the mounting flange is warped beyond use. I can only assume it was cut up and pieced back together for clearance or sump location at some point to fit into something. I am trying to find a replacement oil pan.

I have been researching Perkins engines for a few hours now and I am getting a bit overwhelmed with just how many different engines and applications are out there. In starting my research I took numbers off of everything I could find from the cylinder head, valve cover, cover on the right side of the block, bottom of the oil pan, even off of the crankshaft webs and bearing caps. I got numbers off of everything except the ONE I needed....the serial number off of the block.

I do have a bunch of pictures and I was hoping one of you guys might point me in the right direction as to identifying which engine it is, possibly what it came out of, and where I might get an oil pan. The pan is not completely flat all the way around as most I have found pics of on line. It has a flat rail on either side and a "U" shaped cut out at the front and back to fit in the slots on the bearing caps/engine block.

Here's a pic of the engine:

I don't think the picture worked. Here is a link:

Here's the pic. I can't help much more.

It's one of the indirect injected Perkins, most likely the A4.192, 3.5 inch bore or the larger A4.203, 3.6 inch bore, both have a five inch stroke. If you can post the injection pump 324 number, I'll see if I can find which engine it is by the pump ID.

worked on a willys jeep once that had an engine that looked like that, & was factory option---it was 192 c.i.--62 hp.perkins, IIRC

Sure doesn't look much like the one in my MasseyFerguson 180.

That's because this Perkins is smaller than the AD4.236 direct injected engine the 175-180 used.

I'm thinking it might well be a 4.203 -
quite a common transplant here in the UK.
Did it myself about 30 years ago - makes a
great towing vehicle! Fits a 1970's Land
Rover with a commercially available (way
back in the day) bell housing adapter. I
recognise the exhaust manifold as being the
same as on mine. Common 'donor' vehicle was
a Commer van. Good luck!

Does this look like it?

The Pontiac OHC 6 uses a rubber timing belt. The Tornado used a timing chain.
