Process

How an Order Is Handled

  • You confirm the model variant (MC13.48 or MC13.54) and emission level required
  • We check stock availability and provide a photo of the engine with serial number and mounting flanges
  • You confirm the final specification and payment terms before shipment
  • Engine is prepared, cleaned, and tested under load before packaging
  • We arrange sea freight or air shipment and provide tracking and export documentation
Quality Control

Checks Before Loading

  • Engine serial number is cross-checked against the specification sheet before shipment
  • All mounting flanges and bolt holes are inspected for damage or deformation
  • Fuel system and injection pump are tested under load to verify pressure and timing
  • Noise level is measured at 1m distance to confirm ≤94dB(A)
  • Packaging includes anti-corrosion film, foam padding, and steel strapping for sea transport
Customisation

What Can Be Changed

  • Engine can be supplied with or without ECU, depending on your fitment requirements
  • Mounting flanges can be adjusted for compatibility with different truck chassis
  • Oil and coolant filters can be included as part of the delivery package
  • Optional installation of a pre-lubrication pump for first-time start-up
Use Guide

Using It Well

  • Inspect all mounting bolts and gaskets before installation to prevent leaks
  • Prime the fuel system with clean diesel before first start-up to avoid air lock
  • Use only OEM-approved oil and coolant types to maintain warranty and performance
  • Check ECU settings and injection timing after installation to match vehicle calibration
