Perkins extends life and restores performance of 1100 Series engines withnew line of repair sleeves.

Cost-effective solution enables targeted repairs of cylinder bores as aflexible alternative to full engine overhauls.

Perkins hasintroduced a new line of repair sleeves for its 1100 Series engines, enablingend users to return cylinder bores to like-new performance while avoiding thedowntime, expense, and waste of a full engine overhaul. Available nowworldwide, the Perkins® 1100 Series repair sleeves allow technicians to restoreindividual cylinders to their factory dimensions, allowing the original,standard-sized pistons to be retained and maintaining proper engine balance.

The repairsleeves are composed of the same material as the engine block to match thewear, thermal, and machining characteristics. They have been validated byPerkins engineers for optimal stability and durability through physicalaccelerated wear tests, simulation analysis, and material analysis andspecification.
