Perkins 1004 “AK” and “AQ” build
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 is a turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine offering 4.0 litres of displacement with direct injection. Produced from 1998 to 2004, the 1004.40T represented an evolution of the earlier 1004.4T design.
It incorporated refinements to meet updated emissions requirements while maintaining the durability and power output that made the 1004 platform popular across agricultural and industrial sectors. This engine powered Massey Ferguson tractors including the 4245, 4255, and 4260 models.
JCB specified it for telehandlers and Loadalls, as well as backhoe loaders. It was also adopted by Hyster for forklifts, and found its way into industrial generator sets and combine harvesters. The 1004.40T’s refinements over the earlier 1004.4T included updated fuel injection equipment and improved reliability.
Parts availability remains strong, and the engine’s design allows for straightforward rebuild to original specifications using genuine Perkins or quality aftermarket components. 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.
