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 1006.6T IOPU (Industrial Open Power Unit) is a turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine delivering 6.0 litres of displacement with direct injection, supplied as a complete package with radiator. Manufactured from 1986 to 1998, the IOPU configuration provided a self-contained power unit for industrial applications.
The inclusion of the radiator created a complete cooling solution, simplifying installation and reducing engineering requirements for equipment manufacturers. This power package was adopted for pumps, compressors, hydraulic power packs, mobile equipment, material handling machinery, mobile cranes, and wood chippers.
The self-contained design made it particularly suitable for applications requiring a drop-in power solution. The IOPU’s integrated radiator and cooling system meant equipment manufacturers could specify a complete, tested power unit rather than engineering their own cooling solution.
Parts availability is strong, and the engine’s proven 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.
