Description
When your Massey Ferguson's 318 CID diesel starts blowing oil smoke or losing power during harvest season, you can't afford to wait for a complete teardown. This basic in-frame overhaul kit gets you the core components you need to restore compression and stop oil burn without pulling the engine from the frame. It's the practical solution when you've got work to finish and need your machine back in service fast.
What You're Getting
- Complete sleeve and piston set that restores proper cylinder seal and compression
- Quality rings designed for diesel service that handle high compression and heat cycles
- Valve-grind gasket set that seals everything up tight after valve work
- Oil pan gasket included so you can button everything back up leak-free
- All components sized for the 318 CID engine with 4.5 inch standard bore
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the Massey Ferguson 540 series combines and MF1080, MF1085, and MF285 series tractors - machines that handle serious fieldwork from dawn to dusk. Whether you're combining wheat in July heat or pulling heavy tillage equipment through tough ground, this 318 CID Perkins diesel has been the heart of countless farming operations. The angled injector design in the cylinder head means this engine was built to work hard and run efficiently.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these components to handle the demanding conditions that come with diesel operation. The sleeve design provides a fresh bore surface while the pistons are engineered for the compression ratios these engines need. Quality materials throughout ensure this rebuild will give you thousands more hours of reliable service.
Good to Know
This is an in-frame job, which means you can do the work without pulling the engine. You'll still want to have the cylinders checked and honed as needed, but you can keep the engine in the tractor or combine. Plan on replacing the water pump and checking timing while you're this deep into things - it's the smart time to handle maintenance items that are tough to reach normally.
