Richard Farrant Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Do you know what the differences are, I suspect it is more than just pump settings? Does the 350 still use a chargecooler rather than an intercooler? Mike Mike, When Perkins bought the Rolls diesel business, they re-engineered the Eagle, the cyl. block being altered is one thing, from memory. I know the FI pump is different on the 350, from the earlier 270 and 305 versions. My tech data is not to hand at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard, it must be one of the longest serving engines ever, having started out in the early '50s as the 'C' series and still retains identical bore/stroke dimensions. Antarmike has a C6TFL in the Antar while Unipower used a 400 version in the 8x8 bridging units with a huge remote intercooler. It is still available for industrial applications from CAT who are now the owners of Perkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 And the CET uses the C6TFR engine. Steve Guest has anither C6TFL in his Ex Raf Constructor. They were used in Railcars and diesel shunters, as well as new installations in marine applications and for Standby Generators... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike , I had always assumed that the L and R referred to the accessory positions, but looking through the parts book it is the side of the engine that the camshaft is fitted to. Furthermore it appears that the block is symmetrical end to end and that the crank flywheel and timing gears can be fitted either way round to produce an engine with the cam on either side.

That picture is the yard in Stafordshire, if you end up making a project tractor unit I can help with supplying 3.5 in pin double oscilating coupling and a perfect hydraulic winch to go on one of those S26's, nearly did the same thing last year myself but too many other projects on the go.
