Perkins 400 Series Technical Training Assessment

This assessment is designed to enable technical personnel to obtain recognition for distance product training. Reference to the training CD and
the appropriate workshop manual may be required to complete the
following multiple-choice questions.
(Please mark the relevant box)

1.

All of the 400 series engine range are indirect injection, how has
the combustion noise been further softened?

A. Introduction of a new combustion chamber common across the range

B. Introduction of a combined top cover/inlet manifold
C. Modification to the exhaust manifold gas flow

2.

An integrated Closed Circuit Breather system ensures the 400

series engine exceeds emission requirements, where is it
located?

A. An external canister to inlet manifold

B. Cylinder block to exhaust manifold
C. In the combined top cover/inlet manifold

3.

The Compact Timing Device (CTD) further reduces 400 series

engine noise and fuel consumption. How does it do this?

A. Situated in the fuel injection pump, the CTD allows fuel to

pass through a sub port drilling at low speed
B. Situated in the timing case, the CTD reacts against the
camshaft slider and flyweights balancing governor
movement at constant spee
C. Situated in the cylinder block, the CTD acts directly on the
fuel injection pump rack creating a "lean burn" at high engine speed

4.

The introduction of the 404C-22T (Turbo) has seen a change to

piston ring pack, what is the most significant/noticeable
change?

A. A hardened metal insert to the top ring groove

B. A keystone top ring
C. Increased barrel to the profile of the top ring

5.

To ensure that the 404C-22T cooling system operates to its full

potential it is fitted with?

A. A bypass blanking thermostat

B. A larger coolant pump drive pulley
C. A smaller coolant pump drive pulley

6.

Heavy-duty electrical connectors are used to reduce

contamination to electrical terminals. Which sensor is
colour-coded blue?

A. Main oil gallery oil pressure sensor

B. Rocker assembly oil pressure sensor
C. Coolant temperature switch

7.

The introduction of the Angleich gives increased torque backup

and tailored torque curve. Where on the engine is the Angleich?

A. It forms part of the governor

B. It is internal of the fuel injection pump
C. It is integral of the combined top cover/inlet manifold

8.

Both the Angleich and the Compact Timing Device (CTD)

are fitted to which engines

A. The 403C-15 and above

B. The 403C-15 and below
C. The 404C-22T only

9.

To ensure that the 400 series engine range conforms to

emission legislation the piston heights must be maintained, how
is this done?

A. 3 grades of piston for each engine size

B. 6 grades of con-rods for each engine size
C. 2 headgasket thickness for each engine size

10. If the Fuel injection pump (FIP) is replaced how should the
timing be checked / adjusted?
A. With the engine off, remove the shut off solenoid and measure the
FIP rack at full fuel and no fuel positions, adjust the linkage as required
B. Using the spill timing method, adjust injection timing by fitting the
correct FIP Shim
C. Using the spill timing method, the injection timing may be measured
but no adjustment is available
