Description
Nothing brings a worn-out engine back to life quite like a good overhaul, and when you're staring down low compression, oil burning, or just plain tired power from your International Harvester, this basic engine kit gets you most of the way there. This is a basic engine kit that contains sleeves, pistons & rings, pins & retainers, pin bushings, complete gasket set, and crankshaft seals—all the core components you need to breathe new life into that 4-cylinder diesel.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of cylinder sleeves to restore proper bore dimensions and compression
- Matched pistons and rings engineered for the 188 CID diesel's 3-11/16 inch bore
- Cupped-head pistons designed specifically for International's combustion chamber design
- Pin bushings and retainers to handle the increased power of a fresh rebuild
- Complete gasket set with crankshaft seals to keep everything sealed tight
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the 504 Series, 2504 Series, and 3514 Series International Harvester tractors—machines that spent decades powering through cultivating, disking, planting, and harvesting operations across farms everywhere. These mid-sized utility tractors were workhorses in row-crop farming, handling everything from field prep to loader work around the farmyard.
Made to Last
This is a Tru Power Engine Kit, which means you're getting quality components designed to handle the demands of farm work. The sleeves are built to proper specifications for long-term durability, and the pistons are engineered to work with International's diesel combustion characteristics for reliable performance season after season.
Good to Know
Since this is a basic kit, you'll need to order main and rod bearings separately to complete your overhaul. The 4.165 inch sleeve flange diameter is specific to these International engines, so fitment is straightforward for experienced mechanics. Plan on having the block checked for deck warpage and the crankshaft inspected before reassembly—standard practice for any engine overhaul that's going to last.
