• Engine Tech Manual: Engine Workshop Manual for 4.108 Diesel Engine dated 1983, Pub. 601 SER 0383 1072, 114 pages.
  • note 1: This manual provides some information of use to sailors operating the engine and transmission and troubleshooting them from "outside" the units. However, it also contains a lot of data for mechanics who are dis-assembling and overhauling or repairing internal parts which are not applicable to operation or the ship's maintainers.
  • note 2: Perkins has been subsumed by Caterpillar, and we can't get info directly from Perkins. Our local representative, KraftPower, Woburn, confirmed that the 1983 manual was the last printing before our circa 1989 engine was installed (it was "new in 1989" per the donor's | "Useful Info" manual, and was manufactured in 1987 per the serial number.
    

• Engine Parts Manuals:
  • hardcopy: 2011: we [ThomS, 07Oct11] have ordered a parts manual for x-Dimension's engine; the edition will be specific to our engine configuration as manufactured; it is produced by Perkins in England, taking about 4 weeks. We have asked for a wiring schematic too, but maybe they only come with the Shop Manual; local rep will check. Ordered via Kraft Power Corp., Woburn, 781-938-9100 x 2251, Shawn.
  • web: 1981: "Core and Option Parts Book", NAP000265 Issue 1, October 1981; Perkins Engines Inc, North American Division, 4.108 M; 106 pages
  • web: 1975:(no title) dated 1975, NAPB#54, 41 pages (of unknown # of pages in complete document);
    this partial manual is referenced by several non-dealer websites, usually indicated as "(partial)", gets into 16th of 22 sections.
  • note 1: These manuals are helpful in locating parts pictorially and giving their names (thus a hint at their function) for 20 different related group of parts. Although many of these parts are of interest only to mechanics overhauling engines, SOME parts are of great interest to users of the engine.
  • note 2: removed, replaced by note 4 below.
  • note 3: The 1975 version PDF file only has 15-1/2 of the 22 groups of parts listed in the contents page; ones we see which we obviously want include electrical equipment, wiring harness, throttle control kit, instrument panel, temp & oil-press transmitters, etc.
  • note 4: We requested revision info and availability of this manual from Kraft Power, but are informed that a published manual is not available; they are now made specifically from the serial numbers embossed on the engine.

TODO: Disambiguate our notes about the two TYPES of parts-lists above; the 1975 list is a more "classic" parts list, whereas the 1981 "Core and Option Parts" book has drawings of many parts WITHOUT coding them, and some parts WITH coding, because they seem to be identifying only the parts identified by a particular modification.
