Description
When your diesel tractor starts burning oil, knocking, or losing power, it's time to think about an engine rebuild. This basic overhaul kit gives you the essential components to breathe new life into your Ford 256 cubic inch diesel engine without breaking the bank. It's the kind of kit that helps you tackle a winter project in the shop and get back to reliable farming.
What You're Getting
- Standard size pistons and rings to restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Pin bushings that eliminate the knock and rattling from worn wrist pin areas
- Complete gasket set so you won't be hunting for odd seals halfway through the job
- Main bearings included for a solid foundation that'll last years of hard work
- Everything sized for the 4.4-inch bore of the 256 CID diesel engine
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for the 4-cylinder diesel, 256 CID engine with a 4.4 inch standard bore found in Ford 4000 series tractors and related New Holland models. These are the utility tractors that do the heavy lifting on farms—loader work, field cultivation, and pulling implements through tough ground conditions.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been supplying quality engine rebuild components for decades, and this kit includes components built to handle the demands of agricultural diesel engines. The pistons are designed for the high compression ratios these engines run, and the gaskets are made to seal properly against the thermal cycling that comes with hard work.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit, so you'll want to have your cylinder sleeves, valves, and other wear items checked before you start. The kit contains standard pistons and rings, pin bushings, and a complete gasket set, giving you the core components for a solid rebuild. Since main bearings are included, you're covered for the bottom end work too.
