At Timik Engines, near Southampton in Hampshire, we specialise in remanufacturing quality diesel engines on-site. As proud members of the Federation of Engine Re-manufacturers, we ensure every engine meets the rigorous standards of BSI AU 257:2002, part of the British Standard Automobile Series.
The Perkins 1004.40T, also known as the Caterpillar 3054, is a turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine delivering 4.0 litres of displacement through direct injection. Manufactured from 1998 to 2003, this later variant of the CAT 3054 designation brought improved emissions compliance.
It retained the proven power and reliability that Caterpillar equipment demanded while meeting updated emissions standards. The engine was built to Caterpillar’s specifications while maintaining the core Perkins 1000 Series architecture. The CAT 3054 powered Caterpillar 416D, 420D, 428D, 430D, 432D, and 438D backhoe loaders.
It was also specified for TH62 and TH82 telehandlers, skid steers, IT14G and 914G wheel loaders, AP-300 pavers, and compactors. This engine’s continued adoption across Caterpillar’s construction equipment line reflected the success of the Perkins-Caterpillar partnership.
Parts availability is strong through both networks, and the engine’s design allows for rebuild to original specifications. Post-assembly, each engine undergoes rigorous dynamometer testing, guaranteeing reliable operation under realistic conditions.
The engine block is bored back to standard with new liners fitted. The cylinder head is remanufactured with valve seats re-cut and new valves fitted. The crankshaft is ground to precise tolerances.
All engines are rebuilt in our clean workshop with new pistons and rings, bearings, oil pump, water pump, and complete gasket set. Fuel injection equipment is remanufactured and turbochargers replaced where applicable.
Every engine is dynamometer tested to confirm correct power output, oil pressure, and operating temperatures. Engines are painted and prepared for delivery with full documentation.
