Description
When your Ford diesel is burning oil, losing compression, or smoking more than your neighbor's burn pile, it's time to face the music—those pistons and rings have seen better days. This Tru-Power basic engine kit gives you the essentials to get that reliable 256 cubic inch four-cylinder back to running strong without breaking the bank on a full rebuild.
What You're Getting
- Quality .030 inch oversized pistons that restore proper compression and eliminate blow-by
- Complete ring set engineered to seal tight and last through tough farm conditions
- Pin bushings to eliminate that telltale piston slap you've been hearing
- Full gasket set to prevent leaks and keep oil where it belongs—in the crankcase
Built for Real Farm Work
These are the workhorses that handled everything from cultivating to hay making back in the day—your Ford 5000, 5600, 5700, 6600, and 6700 series tractors. Whether you're running a loader, pulling implements, or doing field work, this kit fits the same reliable diesel engine that's been powering these tractors for decades.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been making engine kits for agricultural equipment longer than most of us have been farming. The oversized pistons handle the wear you get from long hours and dusty conditions, while the rings are designed to maintain compression through season after season of hard use.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit—you'll need to order bearings separately if they're worn. The .030 oversized pistons mean you'll need a machine shop to bore your cylinders, but most engine rebuilders can handle that work. Plan on having your head checked and valve work done while you've got the engine apart—it's the smart time to do it all at once.
