NEW FORMAT The new format for engine identification will be incorporated by all Perkins manufacturing operations in the near future.  At the present time, engines produced in England, Germany, Mexico, and the United States are being identified according to the  new  format.    As  with  its  predecessor,  the  identification  of  each  engine  is  accomplished  via  an  alphanumeric  code, which can be comprised of up to 15 characters (if a secondary parts list reference is required, six additional characters will be  used).    The  standardized  location  for  each  engine's  identification  is  a  machined  pad  situated  near  the  fuel  injection pump  (left  side  of  engine  when  viewing  from  rear).    Exceptions  to  this  location  may  arise  for  certain  engines.    The following data is represented in sequence by the alphanumeric identification code characters. DATA CHARACTERS 1. Engine Family One Alphabetic Letter 2. Engine Type/Phase One Alphabetic Letter 3. Parts List (Or Standard Option Five Numerals (Or Letter "A" Scheme Order) Reference' and Four Numerals) 4. Country of Origin One Alphabetic Letter 5. Production (Or Rebuild) Maximum of Six Numerals (Or Serial Number Letter "R" and Maximum of Five Numerals) 6. Year of Manufacture One Alphabetic Letter EXAMPLE: TE22282N1256C *Certain  engines  may  also  have  a  secondary  parts  list  reference  stamped  immediately  below  the  primary  parts  list reference. EXAMPLE: TE20696U501376C NAP12N Engine Family and Type/Phase Code Interpretations: The first two characters of the identification code will always be letters.  The first letter represents the engine family and the second represents the engine type/phase.  The following interpretation are applicable to engine identification codes.
