Description
When you hear that familiar knock coming from deep in the engine or notice your oil pressure dropping, you know it's time for more than just an oil change. This Tru Power basic overhaul kit is built specifically for the 6-cylinder turbocharged 466 CID diesel with the 4.3 inch bore and cupped-head pistons that powered International Harvester's workhorses through decades of tough farm work.
What You're Getting
- Complete sleeve and seal set to restore proper compression and eliminate blow-by
- Matching pistons, rings, pins and retainers engineered for the turbo diesel's higher pressures
- Pin bushings to eliminate connecting rod wear and noise
- Full gasket set plus crankshaft seals to stop every leak from top to bottom
- Everything except the main and rod bearings—order those separately based on your crankshaft measurements
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the big International tractors that farmers counted on for heavy-duty field work and harvest. From the 1470 Series doing tillage work to the massive 3588 and 3788 machines pulling wide implements, these turbocharged diesels delivered the power and torque needed when the work got tough. You'll also find this engine in the 4386, 5288, 5488, 6588, 6788, 7288, and 7488 Series tractors.
Made to Last
This Tru Power kit uses the same quality standards as the original equipment, with sleeves and pistons designed to handle the heat and pressure of turbo diesel operation. The cupped-head pistons are matched to your engine's compression ratio, and the ring package provides proper oil control without excessive blow-by.
Good to Know
Since this is a basic kit, you'll need to order main and rod bearings separately after measuring your crankshaft journals. Most machine shops can check the crank and recommend the right bearing sizes. Plan on having the cylinder head work done at the same time—it's the perfect opportunity to refresh the valves and guides while everything's apart.
