I had a 4203 in a Landrover. Had problems with it seizing, I suspect someone had fitted chrome rings with Chromard liners.

can anyone help I have an oldish perkins 3 cylinder engine on my -compressor. need a head gasket for it but would like to know the head torque setting for it or where I could get info for it and also the tappet clearances for the valves . any help appreciated

Ask your nearest Massey Ferguson dealer. The engine will be a 3.152, there were thousands of them fitted to small massey tractors like the 135. Twenty years ago I could have told you the tappet clearance myself, but sadly I've forgotten.

thanks for the help -so far a genuine head gasket is 20 quid- plus vat a 2 week wait and 12 quid delivery dunno wether a pattern one will be ok from ebay

You'll have to wait for the next Autojumble

he did say it was a D3.152 earlier.
which is part of the same family to include the 3.152, D3.152, 3.1522, 3.1524, T3.1524 and D3.152M engines, the latter there being a marine engine.
they are all the same block, its what they did to them after that which gives them the independent models.
i had a 1004.4 engine here a few months ago and even tho it was a phaser engine there was 4 different gasket sets to fit it.
the tappet clearance is .30mm cold on the D3.152 but there is 2 or 3 links to manuals here now so he couldnt go far wrong at this stage.

thanks for all the help lads. had to ring round for the gasket set only place-stocked the one I wanted was agrispares 35 quid for top gasket set and a set of
water hoses. may need a new radiator and they have them for 130 quid thanks for links to

It wouldn't be a .2 0r a .4 though. Back to perkins nomenclature: 3= cylinders, 152= cubic inches, .2, .4 =improvements. Having said that I realised after I'd posted that other people had already replied!

 

[brightspark]

thanks for link ive bookmarked it

 

[brightspark]

well found the problem it wasn't the head or pump the radiator was totally clogged with mud and oil on the outside . it was also leaking round the lower outlet and a pinhole in the middle. it couldn't be seen without removing it as its behind a cowl one side and a rather large oil cooler on the other .ive soldered the leaks up and pressure tested it and its fine . a recon would cost 250 quid . its quite large and fitting something of another machine would be difficult

[brightspark]

it was solid with mud and oil so was the oil cooler its never been looked at in 30 years but the engine is in good condition and it started 3d turn on the key after not run

And how long have you had this machine and only just got round to fixing it

The exhaust on yours looks a bit better than my tractors ! yes great engines,make sure you change the diesel filters, engine oil and filters and you will have a trusted piece of kit for a long long time, I dont start my tractor from autumn till spring, just put the battery on and first click,brilliant engines bar none, Arther

 

[brightspark]

now it ruins properly I will change all the filters . I don't know what the silencers off I got it free from the exhaust shop of an old system they replaced and welded it on

 

[arther dailey]

Nice one....

 

[brightspark]

oil and diesel filters along with theremostat arrived today last question what engine oil does it take as the links above no longer work for some reason

 

[Spark plug]

I always just use 15w40 diesel oil nothing fancy but change it regular.

 

[arther dailey]

use something like millers, basically the old type classic oils, as modern oils have too much detergent and additives , just make sure you check level on a regular basis untill you find if it uses/loses any, often leaks around bell housing, this is because they have a rope type crank seal which can tend to leak, mine does on my digger, cheaper to use catch can and top up regular. great motors though full stop .
