Description
When your International Harvester diesel starts burning oil, lacks compression, or you're hearing those telltale knocking sounds, it's time for some serious engine work. This basic in-frame kit gives you what you need to get that 361 CID six-cylinder diesel breathing properly again without pulling the whole engine out of the tractor.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of sleeves and seals to restore proper cylinder bore dimensions and compression
- Cupped-head pistons with rings, pins, and retainers for reliable sealing and long life
- Valve grind gasket set to handle the head work you'll need to do
- Oil pan gasket to keep everything sealed up tight when you're done
- Everything manufactured to OEM specifications so it fits and works like it should
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for the 361 cubic inch diesel engines found in the International Harvester 806 and 2806 series tractors. These were workhorse machines that handled everything from heavy tillage to harvest work, and their engines put in countless hours under load. The 4-1/8 inch bore dimensions and cupped-head piston design helped these diesels deliver reliable power season after season.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds their overhaul kits to meet or exceed original specifications because they know these engines work hard for a living. The sleeves are manufactured to handle the thermal cycling these diesels see, while the gasket materials won't fail from the heat and pressure of diesel combustion. Quality control means everything fits together properly for a rebuild that lasts.
Good to Know
This is an in-frame kit, which means you'll be doing the work with the engine still in the tractor. You'll need to pull the head and oil pan, but you won't have to wrestle with removing the entire power plant. Most mechanics recommend checking the cylinder walls carefully and having the head checked for cracks and warpage while you've got everything apart.
