Nissan Diesel TD27 2006 Parts Catalog

I run a six-bay shop in San Antonio. I’ve torqued more head bolts than you’ve had hot meals. When a customer brings in a Nissan Diesel TD27 2006 Parts Catalog, I need the right parts numbers the first time, not a reprint of some aftermarket catalog that guessed at the specs. This 2006 Parts Catalog from Nissan Diesel is the real deal: 70 pages of genuine OEM part numbers, illustrations, and ordering info. No guesswork. Let me walk you through what’s inside.

General Description: What This 70-Page Catalog Covers

The introduction (page INT.02) spells it out: this catalog contains all engine replacement parts for Nissan Diesel trucks equipped with the TD27. The publication number is Pub.No.MPRC6 2TD21. It supersedes an earlier book. This is a factory document – the same one a dealership parts counter uses. If you’ve ever tried matching aftermarket parts to a TD27, you know how easy it is to order the wrong piston ring or gasket set. This catalog removes that risk. It lists every genuine part with its factory number and quantity. Plain and simple.

Find Parts Numbers Using the Index

Section 3 of the introduction (page INT.05) explains how to find parts numbers. You get two methods: a section index arranged alphabetically by component name, and a parts number index at the very end of the book. That index is critical when you have a part in your hand with a worn-off number and need to cross-reference. The catalog also includes Table 1 on page INT.07 – Table of Symbols & Abbreviations – so you know what every marking means. I’ve seen plenty of shade-tree mechanics misread a symbol and order a left-hand thread bolt instead of a right-hand. Not with this manual.

Engine Parts Section: Pages 3 Through 67

The meat of this catalog is the ENGINE PARTS section, running from page 3 to page 67. That’s 65 pages of exploded diagrams and part lists covering every component of the TD27. Cylinder head, pistons, rings, crankshaft, oil pump, timing gears – it’s all there. Each illustration has callouts linked to a parts table with the OEM number, description, and quantity. For example, if you need the ring set for a TD27, the catalog shows part number 12040-97429 with quantity one. That’s the genuine box – see the sample on page 2 of the catalog with the UD mark and label. When you order from a dealer, you hand them that number and get the exact part. No more “this looks about right.”

I’ve used this catalog to help a buddy rebuild his forklift engine. Without it, he would have ordered the wrong fuel injection nozzle. The diagrams are clear, and the part numbers are verified by Nissan Diesel. If you want to understand the full scope of the TD27 engine from a parts perspective, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background on the combustion cycle, then use this catalog to find the actual hardware.

Table of Symbols & Abbreviations on Page INT.07

Don’t skip the front matter. Table 1 on page INT.07 lists every symbol and abbreviation used in the catalog. For instance, a circle with a slash might mean “does not apply” or something specific to the TD27 variant. The table also covers abbreviations like “RH” for right-hand and “LH” for left-hand. I’ve seen a mechanic order a left-hand mirror for a truck because he ignored the abbreviation table. Cost the customer eighty bucks and a day of downtime. This page prevents that.

Placing an Order with the Correct Part Number

Section 4 of the introduction covers how to place an order. You’ll need the publication number (MPRC6 2TD21), the engine model (TD27), and the execution date (September 2006). The catalog includes Table 2 on page INT.08 – Date and Engine Serial Numbers – so you can verify which parts apply to your specific engine. There’s a reason Nissan Diesel warns against counterfeit and non-genuine parts on page 2. The genuine parts come in a box with the UD label and a part number sticker. Counterfeit parts can fail and damage the engine. This catalog ensures you order the right genuine piece.

Need thread specs for fasteners? Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide might help – but for the TD27, stick with this catalog.

Is this just a reprint of an aftermarket catalog?

No. This is a genuine Nissan Diesel factory publication from 2006.

Does this catalog include torque specs for the TD27?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and illustrations for engine components. For torque specifications, you need the corresponding service manual. However, the catalog does include a table of engine serial numbers and dates to ensure you order the correct variant. The parts number index at the back helps cross-reference. If you’re rebuilding a TD27, you’ll want both the service manual and this parts catalog. Check our related manuals like NISSAN DIESEL BD3004 1996 Parts Catalog for other engines.

If you’re tired of fighting aftermarket part lists that don’t match your TD27, stop wasting time. For more technical background, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines and then access the genuine source. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the OEM part numbers that work.
