Description
When your International Harvester's engine starts showing its age—maybe it's smoking a bit more, burning oil, or just doesn't have the power it used to—it might be time for a rebuild. This basic engine kit gives you the core components to breathe new life into your 179 cubic inch, 3-cylinder diesel without breaking the bank. It's the perfect choice when you want to do the work yourself and already have good bearings to reuse.
What You're Getting
- Complete cylinder sleeve set with seals to restore proper compression and eliminate blow-by
- Matched pistons, rings, and pins designed for long-lasting performance in farm conditions
- Full gasket set including crankshaft seals to stop leaks and keep fluids where they belong
- Pin bushings and retainers for a professional rebuild that'll last
- Everything precision-machined to OEM specifications for proper fit and function
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the workhorse 454, 464, and 484 series tractors that have been earning their keep on farms for decades. Whether you're using yours for loader work, cultivating, or running a brush hog, these engines were built to handle whatever you throw at them. The 3-7/8 inch standard bore and cupped-head pistons are what International used from the factory.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to handle the demands of agricultural work. The cylinder sleeves are precision-honed for proper oil control, and the piston rings are designed to seat quickly and maintain compression through years of hard use. You're getting quality parts that'll stand up to long days and heavy loads.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to order engine bearings separately if yours need replacing. It's a good idea to have your machine shop check the crankshaft and connecting rods while everything's apart. Most folks find this is a great winter project when the tractor's not needed in the field.
