Description
When your Ford 456 turbo diesel starts showing signs of wear—low compression, oil consumption, or just not pulling like it used to—it's time for a proper rebuild. This Tru-Power basic engine overhaul kit contains everything you need to breathe new life into that 456 turbo diesel, with standard pistons and rings, standard main bearings, standard connecting rod bearings, pin bushings, and a complete overhaul gasket set. The only difference with this kit is the 0.020" main bearings for engines that need a slight bore on the mains.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings to restore proper compression and reduce oil consumption
- 0.020" undersized main bearings for engines with slightly worn crankshaft journals
- Standard connecting rod bearings to eliminate rod knock and restore proper clearances
- Pin bushings and complete overhaul gasket set—everything needed for a thorough rebuild
- Tru-Power quality components built to handle the demands of turbo diesel operation
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors including the 8360 (9/1995 & up), 8560 (9/1995 & up), TM135, TM150, and TM165. These are serious work tractors that handle everything from heavy tillage to baling, and when you're depending on them for your livelihood, a proper rebuild beats a quick fix every time.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are manufactured to OEM specifications, so you're getting the same quality that came in your tractor from the factory. The turbo diesel environment is tough on engine parts—high heat, pressure, and constant load changes—but these components are designed to handle it all and keep your tractor running strong for years to come.
Good to Know
The 0.020" main bearings in this kit are for engines where the crankshaft main journals have been turned or are slightly worn but still within serviceable limits. If you're not sure about your crank measurements, have it checked by a machine shop before ordering. A basic overhaul is a big job, but with the right parts and some patience, you'll have that 456 turbo running like new again.
