Description
When your Ford diesel is burning oil, making noise, or just doesn't have the power it once had, it's probably time for an overhaul. Nothing beats the reliability of getting your engine back to factory specs, and this basic kit gives you the essential components to rebuild your 268 cubic inch diesel and get back to work. This kit contains standard pistons & rings, pin bushings, and a complete gasket set plus the main bearings you need to restore proper clearances.
What You're Getting
- Standard bore pistons and rings for a proper seal that keeps compression where it belongs
- Complete gasket set seals everything from head to oil pan—no more leaks
- Pin bushings for smooth piston operation and reduced wear
- Main bearings sized at .010" oversize to compensate for normal crankshaft wear
- Tru-Power quality components built to handle farm work demands
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits 4-cylinder diesel engines with 268 CID displacement and 4.4 inch standard bore found in Ford tractors from the late 1960s through early 1980s. These are the workhorses that powered countless farms through hay season, tillage, and planting—reliable engines that just need proper rebuilding to keep going strong.
Made to Last
Farm engines work harder than most folks realize, running long hours under load in dusty conditions. This kit uses quality components designed specifically for agricultural applications, not automotive parts that won't hold up to the constant demands of farm work. The .010" oversize main bearings account for the normal crankshaft wear these engines develop over time.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to source valvetrain components and rod bearings separately if your engine needs them. Before you start, have the block checked for cracks and the crankshaft measured to confirm the .010" bearings will give you proper clearance. A good machine shop can guide you on what additional work might be needed.
