Engine identification
The 1300 Series EDi engines consist of a range of six cylinder in-line engines which are turbocharged or
turbocharged/intercooled. The engines have an electronic management system.
In this handbook, the different engine types are indicated by their code letters, which are the first two letters of
the engine number as indicated in table 1.
The engine number is stamped on the left side of the cylinder block (A1) on the earliest engines, behind the
high pressure pump. On later engines, the engine number is located at position (B1). On the current engine,
the identification plate is located on the top cover of the engine (C1).
An example of an engine number is WP1296N1234567 .
The components of the engine number are as follows:
WP = Type code letters
1296 = Build list number
N = Built in the USA
1234567 = Engine serial number
Certain engines built after 4th January 2010 use a different engine number format. An example of the engine
number in the different engine format is
WGBF1296N12345U .
The components of the engine number are as follows:
W = Engine series
G = Application
B = Engine type
F = Number of cylinders
1296 = Build list number
N = Built in the USA
123456U = Engine serial number
If you need parts, service or information for your engine, you must give the complete engine number to your
Perkins distributor.
