Description
When your Ford tractor's diesel engine starts smoking, using oil, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's time for a rebuild. This basic overhaul kit gives you the essential parts to bring that tired 456 diesel back to life without breaking the bank. You'll get everything needed for a solid rebuild that'll have your tractor running strong for years to come.
What You're Getting
- 0.040" oversized main bearings and connecting rod bearings to handle worn crank journals
- Oversized pistons and rings matched to restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Pin bushings for smooth piston pin operation under load
- Complete gasket set seals everything up tight from head to oil pan
- Quality Tru-Power components built to OEM specifications
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
The 456 diesel was Ford's workhorse engine found in the bigger tractors like the 8010, 8240, and 8340 models. These machines handle serious farm work—plowing, cultivating, heavy implements, and long days in the field. This kit restores the power and reliability you need for demanding operations where downtime costs money.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these kits to handle the constant heat, vibration, and stress of diesel operation. The bearings are engineered for the high pressures of turbocharged engines, while the pistons and rings are designed to seal properly and resist wear even under heavy loads.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit—you'll need to have the block bored and the crank turned to match the oversized parts. Take measurements first to make sure 0.040" oversized bearings will work with your particular crank. Any good machine shop can handle the prep work, then you can tackle the rebuild with confidence.
