Not every engine component belongs to a major assembly, and this group gathers the parts that sit outside them — the castings, covers and hardware that turn a set of assemblies into a running engine. This group covers cylinder blocks and bare castings, sumps, timing covers, breathers, dipsticks and tubes, plugs and adaptors, and the miscellaneous hardware needed during overhaul. Perkins has manufactured engines in Peterborough since 1932 and now supplies more than 800 applications across industrial machinery, generating sets, marine, agricultural and lifting equipment. That breadth means the same engine series appears in many different build specifications, so identification against the engine serial number rather than the series designation is important.
AMS Parts supplies a wide range of general engine parts components for Perkins engines used in power generation, marine, and industrial applications. Browse the full range below, or contact us for specific requirements.
The engine serial number identifies the exact build. Perkins supplies the same series in many application-specific specifications, so the series number alone is not enough.
It is stamped on the engine block, usually on a machined pad, and also appears on the engine data plate. Both should match.
Superseded numbers are normally replaced by a current equivalent for the same application. Quoting the original number allows the current reference to be traced.
