Description
When your Ford diesel starts smoking, burning oil, or losing compression after years of reliable service, an engine rebuild isn't something most folks look forward to. But when the work needs to be done, this basic overhaul kit gives you the essential parts to get that 456 diesel running strong again without breaking the bank on parts you might not need.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings at .010" to restore proper compression and reduce blow-by
- Main bearings and connecting rod bearings sized .010" over for worn crankshaft journals
- Pin bushings to eliminate wrist pin knock and ensure smooth piston movement
- Complete overhaul gasket set seals everything up from oil pan to head gasket
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors including the 8010, 8240, and 8340 models - the big row-crop and grain farming machines that put in serious hours during planting and harvest. These are the tractors pulling heavy cultivators, running grain carts, and powering through tough conditions where engine reliability isn't optional.
Made to Last
The Tru-Power components in this kit are built to handle the demands of agricultural work. The oversized pistons and bearings compensate for normal wear in high-hour engines, giving you a solid rebuild that'll stand up to another season of hard work. Quality materials and precise manufacturing ensure proper fit and long service life.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit focused on the essentials - you'll need to have your block and head checked by a machine shop to determine what additional work might be needed. The .010" oversize parts are standard for most rebuilds, but always measure your engine's wear before ordering. If you're doing the work yourself, take your time with bearing clearances and torque specs.
