[QUOTE="imtools, post: 117205, member: 10415"] My Perkins 4-108 has works well but there have been issues. The crankshaft oil seal at the accessory end of the motor won't stop leaking, even after replacing the seal several times and even sleeving the journal on the crank. Recently I read in a marine forum that it could be due to the way this end of the motor is mounted and that it causes cover to shift, sending seal off center. I am going to try rectifying this. Another comment I have to what I've read above is NEVER USE STARTING FLUID IN A DIESEL. I believe it is ultimately what caused my crankshaft to break into 3 pieces. Amazingly enough, it ran for probably a half an hour with it being broken, albeit quite noisily. [/QUOTE]
