Important – Cylinder Liners

The Perkins 4.236 engine was manufactured with three different cylinder liner designs.

This overhaul kit is supplied with the liner option selected when ordering. Before purchasing, remove one existing liner from your engine to confirm the correct type, as identification is difficult while the liner remains installed.

Available Liner Options

Option 1

• Plain parallel press-fit liner
• Requires machining (boring and honing) after installation
• Outside diameter: 103.2 mm (4.062")

Option 2

• Flanged, pre-finished liner
• Outside diameter: 103.2 mm (4.062")

Option 3

• Flanged, pre-finished liner
• Outside diameter: 104.2 mm (4.102")

Please refer to the product images to help identify the liner currently fitted to your engine before ordering.

Standard Crankshaft Journal Sizes

Main bearing journals

• 2.9984" – 2.9992"

Connecting rod journals
