Description
When your Ford 8010, 8240, or 8340 starts burning oil, losing power, or using coolant, it's usually time for an engine rebuild. These high-horsepower workhorses put in long hours under heavy loads, and after thousands of hours, even the toughest 456 diesel engines need attention. This basic overhaul kit gets you the core components you need to bring that engine back to reliable performance.
What You're Getting
- 0.040 inch oversized pistons and rings that restore proper compression and oil control
- 0.040 inch main bearings and connecting rod bearings for tight engine tolerances
- Pin bushings that eliminate wrist pin knock and restore smooth piston operation
- Complete overhaul gasket set seals everything up from oil pan to head gasket
- Tru-Power quality components built to handle the demands of high-horsepower farm work
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland 8010 tractors built before May 1998, plus 8240 and 8340 models with the 456 cubic inch diesel engine. These are serious farming machines used for deep tillage, heavy field cultivation, large-scale planting operations, and custom harvesting where you need reliable power hour after hour. Whether you're pulling a big disk, running a planter, or powering through tough ground conditions, a fresh engine keeps you moving.
Made to Last
Farm engines work hard in dusty, demanding conditions with constant load changes and temperature swings. This Tru-Power kit uses quality materials designed to handle the stress of high-horsepower diesel operation while maintaining proper tolerances for long service life. The 0.040 inch oversize gives you that factory-fresh fit and performance you need for reliable field work.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll want to have your machine work and head work done by a qualified shop. Check your cylinder bores carefully - if they're worn beyond 0.040 inch oversize, you'll need sleeving work. Always torque everything to spec and use assembly lube on the bearings during installation. Don't forget to prime the oil system before first startup.
