Short and long motors offer a cost-effective solution for engine replacement without purchasing a complete new unit.
A short motor includes the cylinder block with crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods, and bearings, while a long motor adds the cylinder head and gasket sets.
Both options allow you to transfer existing ancillaries from your original engine, reducing costs and downtime.
Our engines are built with a mix of genuine and aftermarket parts to keep a quality product but with economical pricing.
All Perkins engines are built to order, please enquire for an idea of lead time. Prices are on an exchange basis.We require your old unit in return. If we do not have a suitable core available for rebuild, we will need to rebuild your own engine. All engines will be custom built to your spec, whether it has the industrial type block or stressed ("agricultural") block, top mount or side mount turbo options depending on your application.
When a Perkins engine suffers major internal damage, replacing the entire unit is not always necessary or cost-effective.
Short motors and long motors provide intermediate solutions that allow operators to restore their engines to working condition while reusing serviceable components from the original unit.
The terminology refers to how much of the engine is included in the assembly. A short motor covers the lower portion of the engine, while a long motor extends to include the cylinder head.
Both options are available for most Perkins engine series, either as new units or remanufactured to original specifications.
A short motor, sometimes called a short block or short engine, comprises the fundamental rotating assembly within the cylinder block. A typical Perkins short motor includes:
Some short motors may also include the camshaft and oil pump, depending on the engine series and specification.
The cylinder head and all external ancillaries are not included and must be transferred from the original engine or sourced separately.
Short motors are well suited to situations where the cylinder head remains in good condition but the bottom end has suffered damage, such as bearing failure, crankshaft wear, or piston seizure.
A long motor, also known as a long block or long engine, includes everything in the short motor plus the upper engine components. A typical Perkins long motor includes:
External components such as the fuel injection system, turbocharger, starter motor, alternator, water pump, exhaust manifold, and flywheel are not included. These ancillaries are transferred from the original engine during installation.
Long motors are the appropriate choice when both the cylinder block and cylinder head require replacement, or when a more comprehensive solution is preferred to minimise the risk of future issues.
Choosing a short or long motor over a complete engine replacement offers several advantages.
Cost savings. By reusing serviceable ancillary components from your original engine, you avoid paying for parts you do not need. This makes short and long motors significantly more affordable than purchasing a fully dressed replacement engine.
Reduced downtime. Short and long motors are typically available with shorter lead times than complete engines. The assembly work has already been completed, allowing faster installation and a quicker return to service.
Retained ancillaries. Fuel injection pumps, injectors, turbochargers, and other ancillaries that are specific to your application can be transferred directly, ensuring compatibility and avoiding the need to reconfigure or recalibrate components.
Warranty coverage. Remanufactured short and long motors from reputable suppliers are typically covered by warranty, providing confidence in the quality of the rebuild.
The choice between a short motor and a long motor depends on the condition of your existing engine and the nature of the failure.
Choose a short motor if:
Choose a long motor if:
If you are unsure which option is appropriate, an inspection of your existing engine can help determine the extent of the damage and identify which components are suitable for reuse.
Short and long motors are available for a wide range of Perkins engine series, including:
Both new and remanufactured options are typically available. Remanufactured motors are rebuilt to original specifications using new or reconditioned components and offer a cost-effective alternative to new units.
Installing a short or long motor requires careful transfer of ancillary components from the original engine. Key considerations include:
Professional installation is recommended to ensure the rebuilt engine performs correctly and to maintain warranty coverage.
The engine block is bored back to standard with new liners fitted, cylinder head re-manufactured with valve seats re-cut and new valves fitted if necessary and crankshaft ground.
The fuel injection equipment is remanufactured and a reman turbo is also fitted (if applicable).
The engines are re-assembled in our clean workshop with new pistons and rings, bearings, oil pump, water pump, and all new gaskets fitted with all other components inspected and changed if necessary.
The engine is then dynamometer tested and painted ready for delivery.
We are members of the Federation of Engine Re-manufacturers.
Therefore our remanufactured engines are required to meet a certain standard under BSI AU 257:2002, set by British Standard Automobile Series code of practice.
