Description
When your Ford diesel starts using more oil than usual, blowing smoke, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's probably time for an overhaul. This Tru-Power basic engine kit gives you the core components you need to bring that tired 456 diesel back to life. It's the practical choice when your engine's internals are worn but the block and head are still in good shape.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings (.040 inch) that restore proper compression and seal
- Main and connecting rod bearings (.040 inch) for a tight, quiet bottom end
- Pin bushings that eliminate wrist pin knock and piston slap
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up properly
- Tru-Power quality that's built to handle the demands of farm work
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors like the 8360, 8560, TM135, TM150, and TM165—the big machines that handle serious field work, heavy tillage, and demanding farming operations. These are the tractors you depend on for planting, harvest, and everything in between when the work can't wait.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been rebuilding farm engines for decades, and they know what it takes to stand up to diesel fuel, long hours, and heavy loads. The oversized components compensate for normal wear and give you a tight engine that'll run strong for years to come.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your cylinders bored and honed for the oversized pistons. Most machine shops can handle this work, and it's worth doing right the first time. Check your crank journals for wear—if they're out of spec, you'll need to have them turned or get an undersize bearing kit.
