Introduction
This workshop manual has been written to provide assistance for technicians who service and overhaul the
Perkins 403C-11, 403C-15, 404C-22 and the 404C-22T engine. The assumption is made that the engine is
removed from the application.
The engine conforms with USA EPA/CARB and EC emissions legislation for agricultural and industrial
applications.
Where the information applies only to certain engine types, this is indicated in the text.
Special tools are available and listed in chapter 16. POWERPART recommended consumable products are
listed in this chapter. There is a reference to the relevant special tools and consumable products at the
beginning of each operation.
Danger is indicated in the text by two methods:
Warning! This indicates that there is a possible danger to the person.
Caution: This indicates that there is a possible danger to the engine.
Note: Is used where the information is important, but there is not a danger.
Warning! Read and remember the "Safety precautions". They are given for your protection and must be used
at all times.
Generally, if new joints are to be fitted, it is accepted that the faces for the joint will be cleaned, as this is normal
workshop practice. Also, it is understood that during assembly and inspection, all parts are to be thoroughly
cleaned and lubricated, and where present, burrs and scale are to be removed.
All open ports of high-precision components e.g. fuel injection equipment must be covered until assembly, to
prevent the entry of foreign matter.
When either the "left" or the "right" side of the engine is referred to, it is when viewed from the flywheel end.
When fitting setscrews or studs into holes that enter oil, coolant or air passages, a suitable sealant should be
used to prevent leakage.
Micro encapsulated anaerobic sealant (M.E.A.S.) has been applied to the threads instead of jointing
compounds or other sealants when the fasteners are fitted in through holes into oil or coolant passages. The
identification of these fasteners, as supplied, is by the colour of the sealant.
With M.E.A.S. sealed studs, the sealed end must be fitted into the component. The threaded holes must have
a 1,59 mm (0.0625 in) 45° chamfer to ensure that the M.E.A.S. sealant is not removed when the new fasteners
are fitted. If the fasteners have to be removed and fitted again, the threads must be cleaned and a suitable
sealant used.
