Hi

I bought some perkins injectors on e-bay for spares. The ones on my
engine are stamped "GY". The ones from e-bay are stamped "BE". they both
look the same. Will they work on my old 4-108??? If not, what do they fit.

thanks

There are a lot of different Perkins 4-108 builds, and some require
different Injector Pumps and Injectors. It really depends on your
engines application and build. If it was my money, I WOULD send
the injectors to a "Knowledgeable" Injector Rebuilder, (Hatch & Kirk
in Seattle, WA is a very good place) and have them rebuilt to the same
SPec as the ones in the engine now. You just never know what your
buying on Ebay, and after a "Good Rebuild", you WILL know that what you
have is appropriate, for YOUR Application.

I don't know if they still do it this way but Perkins used to make up
engines in lots of 100 or more, with each engine in the batch being
made to the same spec.

The way to track down the right part for any part, including
injectors, is to go to the engine number. The engine number will give
you the 'build list' number (the number of the batch) and the build
list will give you the correct part number for every component in the
engine. [Most manufacturers operate a similar system].

An Perkins dealer or service agent should have the information you
require. Start with the engine number and go from there.
