Description
When your Ford's starting to blow blue smoke on startup or you're noticing oil pressure dropping during long field days, it might be time for an engine rebuild. This Tru-Power basic overhaul kit for the 456 turbo diesel gives you the core components you need to restore compression and get your tractor running like it should again. Nothing beats the satisfaction of firing up a freshly rebuilt engine that's ready for another decade of hard work.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings that restore proper compression and reduce oil consumption
- 0.040" oversized main bearings that compensate for crankshaft journal wear
- Standard connecting rod bearings for smooth, quiet operation under load
- Pin bushings and complete overhaul gasket set for a leak-free rebuild
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors including the 8360, 8560, TM135, TM150, and TM165 models. These are serious machines built for high-performance agricultural operations, from heavy tillage and large-scale harvesting to commercial transport work. Whether you're pulling a 12-bottom plow through stubble or running a big baler during hay season, this rebuild kit gives you the foundation for reliable power.
Made to Last
Farm engines work harder than most folks realize - long hours at varying loads, dust and debris, temperature extremes that would kill a road engine. This Tru-Power kit uses quality materials designed specifically for agricultural applications, not automotive parts that won't hold up to the punishment your tractor dishes out season after season.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll still need to have the block machined and checked for trueness before assembly. The 0.040" main bearings indicate this kit's designed for engines with some crankshaft wear, so make sure your machine shop measures everything before you start. Plan on a complete inspection of your cylinder head, valves, and injection system while you've got everything apart - now's the time to do it right.
