Description
When your Ford's been working hard season after season, you'll know it's time for an engine rebuild when oil consumption goes up, power drops off, or you start seeing more blue smoke than you'd like. This basic overhaul kit gets you back to reliable power without breaking the bank, giving you everything you need for a professional engine refresh on your 456 turbo diesel.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings (.010 inch) to restore proper compression and eliminate blow-by
- Matching oversized main and connecting rod bearings for rebuilt crankshaft clearances
- Pin bushings to eliminate that annoying piston slap and restore quiet operation
- Complete overhaul gasket set so you're not hunting for individual seals and gaskets
- All components sized for .010 inch oversized rebuild specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors like the 8360, 8560, TM135, TM150, and TM165 - the big horsepower machines that handle your heaviest field work, from deep tillage to large square baling. These are the tractors pulling your biggest implements through tough conditions, so when it's time for a rebuild, you want it done right.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine kits for farm equipment for decades, and this basic kit includes the essential components you need for a solid rebuild. The oversized pistons and bearings are engineered to handle the demands of agricultural work, while the complete gasket set ensures your rebuilt engine seals up tight and stays that way.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your block bored and crankshaft turned to match the .010 inch oversized components. Most machine shops are familiar with these engines and can handle the work. The kit doesn't include valves or timing components, so inspect those during teardown to see what else might need attention while you're in there.
