Description
When your high-horsepower Ford tractor starts showing signs of engine wear - burning oil, loss of power, or excessive blowby - it's time for more than just a quick fix. This basic overhaul kit gives you the core components needed to bring your 456 turbo diesel engine back to strong, reliable performance without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings that restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Main bearings sized 0.010" oversize to accommodate normal crankshaft wear
- Standard connecting rod bearings for smooth operation under load
- Pin bushings and complete overhaul gasket set for a proper seal throughout the engine
- Quality Tru-Power components built to handle the demands of turbo diesel operation
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for Ford New Holland's 456 cubic inch turbo diesel engine found in high-horsepower tractors like the 8360, 8560, and TM series machines. These are the workhorses that pull big planters, handle heavy tillage, and run PTO-driven equipment all season long. The turbo diesel design means serious power, but also serious heat and pressure that demand quality rebuild components.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these components to handle the stress of turbocharged operation and the heat cycles that come with hard farm work. The 0.010" oversize main bearings are sized for engines that have been properly machined, giving you the tight tolerances needed for good oil pressure and long engine life.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit - it covers the essential wear items but doesn't include valves, guides, or cam bearings. Perfect for engines that need bottom-end work but have good valve train components. Make sure your machine shop checks crankshaft specifications before ordering, as bearing sizes can vary depending on how much material needs to be removed during machining.
