Description
When your Ford diesel engine starts burning oil, losing compression, or showing those telltale signs of high hours, it's time for some serious work. You know the drill - white smoke at startup, oil pressure dropping, or that familiar knock that tells you the bearings are done. This Tru-Power basic overhaul kit gives you the essential components to rebuild your 268 CID diesel engine and get back to farming without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- Oversized .020 inch pistons that restore proper compression and eliminate that annoying oil blow-by
- Complete piston ring sets engineered to seal tight and last through demanding farm work
- Pin bushings that eliminate the worn-out slop and restore smooth piston operation
- Complete gasket set covering everything you need for a proper seal from top to bottom
- Main bearings sized at .020 inch oversize to handle the power your engine puts out
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford 5000 series tractors from 1965 through March 1968, those workhorses that handled everything from heavy tillage to loader work. These are the tractors that built a reputation for reliability, and with this overhaul kit, you'll get that dependable power back. Whether you're running a dairy operation, grain farm, or custom work, your rebuilt engine will handle whatever you throw at it.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these components to handle the heat, pressure, and constant stress of diesel farm work. The oversized pistons and bearings account for normal wear patterns, giving you a proper rebuild that'll run like new. These aren't cheap replacement parts - they're engineered to restore your engine to factory specifications.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll want to have your machine work done by someone who knows Ford diesels. Check your cylinder bores and crankshaft journals before ordering to make sure .020 inch oversize is what you need. A good tip - when you're this far into the engine, it's worth checking the oil pump and having the head inspected too.
