Description
When your IH tractor starts burning oil, losing power, or making those sounds that keep you up at night, you know it's time for a serious rebuild. This basic engine overhaul kit is built for the 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel 436 CID powerplant with its 4.3-inch standard bore and cupped-head pistons. It's everything you need to get your engine breathing strong again without the extra parts you might not need right now.
What You're Getting
- Complete sleeve set with seals that gives you a fresh cylinder bore to work with
- New pistons, rings, pins, and retainers - all the moving parts that do the heavy lifting
- Pin bushings that eliminate the wear and slop that builds up over thousands of hours
- Complete gasket set plus front and rear crankshaft seals to keep everything sealed tight
- Quality Tru-Power components that meet OEM specifications for fit and durability
Built for the Big Iron
This kit fits the workhorses of International Harvester's lineup - from the 1460 and 1466 combines to the big 1480 and 1486 series, plus the 1566 and 1586 tractors, along with the 3388, 4166, 4186, 5088, and 6388 series machines. These are the tractors and combines that handle the heavy lifting on farms - from running big planters and cultivators to powering through harvest season day after day.
Made to Handle the Load
Farm engines take a beating with long hours, heavy loads, and dust that gets into everything. This basic kit gives you the core components to rebuild your engine's foundation with parts designed to handle turbocharged power and the constant demands of agricultural work. The cupped-head pistons are specifically designed for the combustion characteristics of this engine.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to source your own main and rod bearings separately - most folks prefer to have their machine shop check clearances and supply the right bearing sizes anyway. The kit comes with everything needed for a standard rebuild, but if you're planning to go .030 over on the bore, you'll want to discuss that with your machinist first.
