Available now from the company’s distributors worldwide, the overhaul kits include the genuine parts needed for technicians to perform progressively complex levels of service, based on running time and condition.

The Copper Kit for top end overhaul targets the upper areas of the engine, such as the cylinder head and valvetrain, to address concerns such as increasing compression, preventing oil leakage and contamination, optimizing valve performance and minimizing emissions. The kit includes various components such as the cylinder head gasket, head bolt, rocker cover seal, oil filter, fuel filter and thermostats.

The Bronze Kit is suited specifically for engines with 12,000 to 15,000 hours of operation. It addresses both top and bottom end components to enable a thorough refresh of critical engine parts. It is designed to tackle wear in gaskets and seals, address performance degradation and prepare the engine for heavy usage.

The Silver Kit is intended for engines with 12,000 to 15,000 hours of use and includes all the components of the Bronze Kit plus pistons and cylinder liners. It is suited for engines with significant wear in the pistons or cylinders, substantial drop in engine performance or when preparing for demanding operations, extending the engine’s lifespan and improving performance.

The Platinum Kit is for major overhauls typically required within 12,000 to 15,000 operating hours to ensure peak performance and extended operational reliability. It contains everything from the Silver Kit plus essential components including oil pump, water pump, fuel lift pump, fuel injectors and valvetrain kit.

The overhaul kits are designed to simplify ordering with a single part number and come with a 12-month standard Perkins warranty. Perkins also offers basic overhaul kits for heritage engines, 400 and 1100 Series engines and 4000 Series engines.
