Description
When your high-horsepower Ford is starting to blow more smoke than it used to or just doesn't have the pull it once did, it might be time for an engine refresh.

You'll get everything needed for the bottom end rebuild plus a complete gasket set to seal things up right.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings for a fresh seal in the cylinders
- Standard main bearings and connecting rod bearings for smooth crankshaft operation
- Pin bushings to properly support the piston pins
- Complete overhaul gasket set to eliminate oil and coolant leaks

Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for the 456 cubic inch turbo diesel engine found in Ford TM135, TM150, TM165, 8360, and 8560 tractors from 1995 and newer. These are serious farming machines built for heavy pulling, whether you're deep-ripping fields, running a large disc, or pulling grain carts during harvest. The turbo diesel provides the torque you need when the work gets tough.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to handle the demands of agricultural work. The bearings are precision-manufactured to maintain proper clearances, while the gasket set uses quality materials that won't shrink or harden over time. When you're counting on your tractor for planting or harvest, you need parts that'll keep running season after season.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit that covers the essential wear components but doesn't include valves, guides, or cam bearings. If you're doing a complete rebuild, you'll want to inspect those components separately. The 0.030 oversized main bearings are designed for cranks that have been turned to the first undersize. Always have your crank measured before ordering to ensure proper clearances.
