hey guys, I'm new to the group and I need some help.. I just purchased a 843 bobcat off craigslist and it was overheating.. so i removed the head because i figure it was cracked like all of them are. it supposedly has a 4.154 perkins in it. I had the head redone to a tune of about a grand. OUCH!! still money ahead though. (i think). well I went to install new perkins head gasket that i got. and the ports on the head dont match up with the gasket. I went through bobcat to get parts.. I think I may have a different engine then the original...The only numbers i can find on block above injection pump are AO4-J5775L Can anyone help me out by Identifying this critter.. I only have about $2500 in this thing but it's just a boat anchor without a headgasket that seals....Sigh!!!
 
The machine shop that done the head must know what it is?
Sorry the numbers don't me much to me, but try a perkins dealer or Bobcat dealer, if you don't get any help at the first, try another. You could takes some pics of it and post them here.
Email them to me if you don't know how to post them
