I have come across a Perkins Marine Information training manual, which uses the 4108 as a worked example but also covers:-
499
4107
4236
6354T6/354
V8/s10

It also covers Hurth Gearboxes, Saildrive unts, Borg Warner Velvet drive
and Type 12000 marine gearbox.
I suspect that it was used to train aprentices at Peterborough, and is quite comprehensive.

If there is sufficient demand I will rip it to pieces (as it is bound) and scan it and then put it on the net as a.pdf file

At sea somewhere.
Send it to Piet at his Engine Manual web site - he's collecting more and more manuals and I know he's interested in ones he hasn't got. (Don't ask me how I know this - you can guess!!) His e-mail is p.bos@lake.xs4all.nl Sorry I can't remember the URL of his website - but its been mentioned several times on the forum.

Yes thats the one - thanks for finding the reference.

Reiterate - if a copy gets sent to Piet, then everyone can access it. Seems like a good deal to me...

Great idea. I know that the 4108 workshop manual has also been scanned, it would be nice if both manuals were locatable together??
Does it teach you how to crawl around and under an engine which was installed by midgets??

You are a gentleman and true sailor with your offer. In the U.S. the manual would probably be put up for sale on e-bay instead.
