Remanufacturing service for the Perkins 1006.6 “YA” Build engine.
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 1006.6 is a 6-cylinder diesel engine offering 6.0 litres of displacement with naturally aspirated induction and direct injection. Manufactured from 1986 to 1998, the 1006.6 provided smooth, reliable power for larger agricultural and industrial applications.
The six-cylinder configuration delivered better balance and reduced vibration compared to four-cylinder variants, making it well-suited to applications requiring sustained operation. This engine powered Massey Ferguson tractors including the MF399, 4260, and 4270 models.
JCB specified it for the 125 and 1115 machines, while it was also adopted for agricultural tractors, combine harvesters, industrial generator sets, and telehandlers. The 1006.6’s naturally aspirated design prioritised reliability and ease of maintenance over outright power output.
Parts availability remains strong, and the engine’s straightforward architecture allows for 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.
