Hi Darren,

I'm not sure if this will help but this old link talks about engine numbers and head stud sizes that are different on the two motors.

but, the 4-108 have heat exchanger is a newer model. 4-107 does not. for further info call Patrick Ritchie who is located in Maine , he is the master of perkins engines, you will not find another person that knows more about them. he is an engine mechanic.

good luck

thank you for your help :) it turns out to be a 4108 based on the serial number which required major cleaning and scrapping to identify. pleased to say, engine is now running and running beautifully. much appreciate the help
