Description
When your Ford diesel is burning oil, running rough, or showing low compression, it's time for more than just hoping it'll get better. This Tru-Power basic overhaul kit gives you everything needed to breathe new life into that 456 diesel engine—the same one that's powered countless acres of farm work over the years.
What You're Getting
- .010" oversized pistons and rings to restore proper compression and eliminate oil burn
- .010" main bearings and connecting rod bearings for smooth, quiet operation
- Pin bushings to eliminate wrist pin knock and ensure proper piston movement
- Complete overhaul gasket set so you won't be hunting for seals mid-job
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed for the 456 cubic inch diesel engines found in Ford New Holland's workhorse tractors—the 8010 series built before May 1998, plus the 8240 and 8340 models. These are the tractors you see pulling chisel plows, running big balers, and handling the heavy lifting around grain and livestock operations where reliability isn't optional.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these components to handle the demands of diesel operation—high compression, heavy loads, and long hours. The oversized pistons and bearings are engineered to restore factory specifications while the gaskets use quality materials that seal properly under pressure and temperature changes.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to source valves, springs, and cam bearings separately if your engine needs them. The .010" oversize means your block will need to be bored and crank turned to match. Having all the gaskets in one kit saves trips to town and keeps your rebuild moving along smoothly.
