Description
When your trusty Ford tractor starts burning oil, smoking at startup, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it might be time for some serious engine work. This Tru-Power basic engine overhaul kit gives you the essential components to bring that tired 268 CID four-cylinder gas engine back to life. It's not a complete rebuild kit, but it covers the core items that typically wear out and rob your engine of power and efficiency.
What You're Getting
- Quality pistons and rings that restore proper compression and reduce oil consumption
- Pin bushings that eliminate that annoying piston slap you've been hearing on cold mornings
- Complete gasket set so you don't have leaks when everything's back together
- 0.020" oversized main bearings to handle the wear on your crankshaft journals
- Everything engineered to work together for reliable, long-lasting performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed for Ford tractors with the 268 cubic inch four-cylinder gas engine, which was a workhorse powerplant in its day. These engines powered utility tractors that handled everything from cultivating and planting to running hay equipment and loader work. Whether you're restoring a vintage Ford for parades or keeping an old reliable running for daily chores, this basic kit gets the job done without breaking the bank.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine kits for agricultural applications for decades, and they understand what farm engines go through. These components are built to handle the heat, vibration, and long hours that farm work demands. The pistons are designed for proper oil control, the gaskets use materials that seal properly, and the bearings are engineered to handle the loads your Ford puts out.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to source valves, valve train components, and rod bearings separately if they need attention. The 0.020" main bearings indicate this kit is for engines where the crankshaft has already been turned once. If you're doing the work yourself, make sure you have the proper torque specs and clearances—engine rebuilding isn't a job for guesswork. Most folks doing a basic overhaul also replace the oil pump and water pump while everything's apart.
