Description
When your Ford tractor starts burning oil, making noise, or just doesn't pull like it used to, it's time for an overhaul. This Tru Power basic engine kit gets your 456 diesel back to running strong with everything you need for a proper rebuild. Whether you're tackling the job yourself or bringing it to your mechanic, this kit takes the guesswork out of gathering all the right parts.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings (.10 inch) to restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Main bearings and connecting rod bearings (.10 inch oversized) for tight clearances and quiet operation
- Pin bushings to eliminate piston pin noise and wear
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up tight
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland 8010 (to 5/1998), 8240, and 8340 tractors with the 456 cubic inch diesel engine. These are the workhorses that handle everything from heavy tillage and planting to harvest and hauling - machines that need reliable power when the work gets tough.
Made to Last
Tru Power has been supplying engine rebuild kits for decades, and they know what it takes to handle farm conditions. The oversized bearings give you proper oil clearances after machining, while the gasket set includes all the seals needed to keep fluids where they belong. These aren't cheap shortcuts - they're quality components built to get you through another season.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your block and crank machined before assembly. The .10 inch oversize on the pistons and bearings is standard for most rebuilds unless your engine needs more cleanup. Your machine shop can tell you exactly what clearances you'll need. Don't forget to check your oil pump and water pump while you're in there - now's the time to replace anything that's marginal.
