This will seem like a dumb post, but, I recently bought a boat with a
Perkin 4-108 that is out of state. I'm getting ready to go work on
the engine and need to know do I bring standard or metric wrenches?
Also what sizes would you recommend? Thank you - JB

Wrong wording, what you mean is "Standard or Imperial".

No Idea about the Perkins, but judging by the mixed mess of
fasteners I have seen in american cars, I would recommend to
bring every single socket/wrench you own.

Wouldn't that be 'SAE' or 'Metric'?

The Perkins 4-108 uses imperial (inch) size . However, it is possible
that accessories which are not original Perkins - heat exchangers,
water pumps, transmissions, etc., could be metric.
