Description
When your Ford's 456 diesel engine starts burning oil, losing power, or knocking during those long days of heavy work, it's telling you something important—time for an overhaul. This Tru Power basic overhaul kit contains standard pistons and rings, standard main bearings, standard connecting rod bearings, pin bushings, and a complete overhaul gasket set to get your engine running like new again.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings that seal combustion chambers tight and restore lost compression
- Main and connecting rod bearings with the 0.040" thickness you need for proper clearances
- Pin bushings to eliminate that annoying piston slap when the engine's cold
- Complete gasket set so nothing leaks when you're done with the job
- Quality Tru-Power components built to handle the demands of farm work
Built for High-HP Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland 8360, 8560 (both 9/1995 & up), TM135, TM150, and TM165 tractors—the big machines you rely on for heavy tillage, large-scale planting, and pulling the biggest implements. These are the tractors that spend long hours under load, where a solid engine rebuild means the difference between getting the job done and being stuck in the shop.
Made to Last
Tru-Power's been making engine rebuild kits for decades, and they understand what works in agricultural engines. These components are built to handle the heat, pressure, and constant load cycles that come with farming. The bearings are properly hardened, the gaskets use quality materials that won't shrink or crack, and everything's manufactured to OEM specifications.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit focused on the essential wear components—perfect if your block and heads are in good shape and you just need to refresh the rotating assembly. You'll want to have your cylinders checked and possibly honed, and don't forget to inspect your crankshaft journals while everything's apart. A good machine shop can tell you if you need additional work beyond what this kit covers.
