In the mid-1960s, Perkins Engines stood at the very top of British diesel engineering. Known for building bulletproof powerplants like the 4.203 and 6.354, their engines were trusted in everything from Massey Ferguson tractors to JCB excavators. But success breeds ambition—and when the heavy-duty diesel market started shifting toward higher power and more compact engines, Perkins decided it was time to make a statement. Enter the Perkins V8 510: an 8.36-liter diesel V8 designed to challenge industry giants like Gardner and Cummins. On paper, it was a dream. It promised more torque, better fuel economy, and a compact size perfect for buses, trucks, and industrial applications. Operators were intrigued. Orders were placed. Hype was high. But then the reality set in. What followed was one of the most dramatic engineering misfires in British automotive history. The 510 suffered from uneven cooling, cracked cylinder sleeves, surging injection systems, and destructive vibration. Engines overheated, failed prematurely, and delivered far less power than promised. Operators were left scrambling for replacements. Mechanics struggled to keep them running. And Perkins—after quietly ending the program—never truly addressed what went wrong. This video uncovers the full story of the Perkins V8 510: not just the technical failures, but the deeper questions about how it ever made it to market. Was it rushed? Did engineers know about the flaws? And why did Perkins abandon it so quickly, leaving loyal customers to deal with the fallout? Whether you're a fan of vintage diesel engineering, a student of industrial history, or someone fascinated by engineering gone wrong—this is the story of how one engine nearly damaged an entire legacy. --------- We do not fully own the material compiled in this video.
