Less disruption with a Perkins assembled block

Perkins engines are designed to last for many years. However, in case of a breakdown, you can quickly and easily obtain a replacement Perkins assembled block (without cylinder head), thus reducing your downtime and quickly getting your agricultural, construction, handling, or other machinery back in operation.

What is a Perkins assembled engine block or 'short block'?

A ‘short block’ or assembled engine block (without cylinder head) is part of an internal combustion engine. It generally includes the basic engine components but not the peripheral parts. An assembled engine block typically includes:

the engine block itself

the crankshaft

pistons / rings

connecting rods

rear main oil seals

All of these are installed on the block.

However, it does not include:

the cylinder head

valves

camshafts

timing components

fuel and exhaust systems

Therefore, the short block is the engine’s foundation without the external parts and cylinder head components.

What are the advantages?

This solution allows mechanics to replace the most essential and wear-prone parts of the engine while reusing peripheral components that are still in good condition. It is often an efficient and cost-effective solution for repairing damaged engines.

Also, once the block is installed, the new engine will be covered by a standard minimum one-year warranty, which covers all costs related to any potential failure or seizure of the assembled engine block, as well as other possible costs related to damage to certain parts of the engine.
