Hi all,
I have a 1994 Perkins 4-154 in my 1979 Pearson 424. I just had the
terrible experience of having a valve stem break while underway at
2000 RPM. The valve slammed into the piston and created a large dent
in the piston top as well as scoring the head to the point that I will
need a new one. I have been told that the best option is to buy a new
engine, a rebuilt one of course since they don’t make a 4-154 anymore.
I was wondering if anyone out there has a good suggestion. I am in
Grenada…far from the USA and availability of parts and engines, so
my choices here are limited, expensive, and time consuming. Any good
ideas will be highly appreciated.Joe Steiner,

Does anyone have a Perkins M65 as an engine? If so was it compatible
with the original transmission?
