Perkins Phaser 135 Ti, Model AL Common Problems This Manual Covers
Perkins Phaser 135 Ti cranks too slowly and will not start, worse in cold weather
Check battery terminals and ground straps for corrosion, then measure starter cable resistance: on 12 volt systems it must not exceed 0.0017 ohms, or 0.0034 ohms on 24 volt systems, per the electrical data on page 36. Verify the oil grade suits ambient temperature. If cranking stays slow, test the starter motor per the Electrical Equipment section on page 191.
Manual Section: Electrical Equipment p. 191Engine runs hot under load and coolant temperature gauge climbs into the red
Check the radiator core for debris and clean the air passages. Inspect the fan for damaged blades. Remove and test both thermostats in heated water, then check the coolant pump for leaks and bearing play, following the Cooling System procedures starting on page 179. Set valve tip clearances cold to 0.20 mm inlet and 0.45 mm exhaust.
Manual Section: Cooling System p. 179Low compression on one or more cylinders, engine lacks power and smokes on cold start
Adjust valve tip clearances cold to 0.20 mm (0.008 in) inlet and 0.45 mm (0.018 in) exhaust, per the specifications on page 21. If compression stays low, remove the cylinder head using the service procedures on page 44 and inspect the face for cracks and distortion. Torque the head setscrews to 110 Nm on reassembly, per page 55.
Manual Section: Cylinder Head Assembly p. 43Engine misfires at idle, runs rough under load, black smoke from the exhaust
Replace the fuel filter element and bleed all air from the low pressure system. Check the fuel pipes for restriction and drain any water from the tank. Test atomiser spray pattern and seat leakage per the Fuel System section starting on page 159. Before condemning the injection pump, confirm valve tip clearances are correct at 0.20 mm inlet, 0.45 mm exhaust.
Manual Section: Fuel System p. 159Frequently Asked Questions
What is the torque specification for the cylinder head setscrews?
The cylinder head setscrews must be tightened in the specified sequence to 110 Nm (80 lbf ft) 11,1 kgf m. Following this, they must be tightened a further part of a turn based on their length: 150° for short setscrews, 180° for medium, and 210° for long setscrews. p. 55
What is the torque specification for the atomiser gland nut?
The atomiser gland nut should be tightened gradually and evenly to 30 Nm (23 lbf ft) 3,0 kgf m. p. 164
What are the replacement specifications for the fuel filter element?
The fuel filter element is a single element type. When replacing, ensure that the inner seal (A3) and outer seal (A4) are in position on top of the canister, and tighten the new canister by hand only. p. 161
What are the replacement specifications for the lubricating oil filter canister?
The oil filter is a full flow, screw-on type canister. When replacing, add clean engine lubricating oil to the new canister before fitting, and tighten it by hand only. p. 149
What is the correct valve tip clearance for the engine?
The valve tip clearance (cold) is 0,20 mm (0.008 in) for inlet valves and 0,45 mm (0.018 in) for exhaust valves. p. 21
