Description
When your diesel engine starts showing its age - blowing smoke, burning oil, or just not pulling like it used to - you're looking at a decision. You can keep patching things up with quick fixes, or you can get your tractor back to running right with a proper overhaul. This basic kit gives you the essential components to bring your Ford 456 diesel back to life without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings sized .010 over to restore proper compression and power
- Main bearings and connecting rod bearings .010 oversized for precise crankshaft clearances
- Pin bushings to eliminate piston slap and connecting rod wear
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up tight from top to bottom
- Quality Tru-Power components that meet OEM specifications for reliability
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors with the 456 CID diesel engine, including the 8010 (up to 5/1998), 8240, and 8340 models. These are serious workhorse tractors that handle everything from heavy tillage to harvest work, and when you rebuild with quality parts, you'll get years more reliable service from your investment.
Made to Last
The Tru-Power brand has been trusted by farmers and rebuilders for decades. These components are manufactured to handle the demanding conditions of agricultural work - long hours, heavy loads, and the dust and dirt that comes with farming. The oversized bearings and pistons give you a fresh start with proper clearances.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your crankshaft checked and machined to .010 undersize if necessary. Most machine shops can handle the boring and honing work. It's also a good time to check your injectors, fuel pump, and cooling system while you've got the engine apart - no sense doing the job twice.
