Description
When your 256 cubic inch diesel is burning oil, losing power, or just feels tired after years of hard work, it might be time for an in-frame refresh. This basic rebuild kit gives you the core components to breathe new life into those dependable Ford diesels without the expense and downtime of a complete teardown.
What You’re Getting
- Standard 4.4-inch bore pistons and rings that restore proper compression
- Quality pin bushings that handle the loads these diesel engines put out
- Complete valve-grind gasket set to seal everything up tight
- Oil pan gasket because nothing’s worse than a steady drip under your tractor
Built for Real Farm Work
These Ford 4-cylinder diesels were workhorses in their day, powering everything from hay operations to heavy tillage work. The 5000 and 6600 series handled the medium-duty jobs perfectly, while the 5600, 5700, and 6700 models stepped up for heavier tasks. This is the same quality kit that professional rebuild shops use to get these engines running strong again.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds their engine components to meet or exceed original Ford specifications because they know these diesels work hard for a living. The pistons are designed to handle the compression ratios these engines need, while the gaskets use materials that won’t fail from the constant heat cycling between cold starts and hot summer shutdowns.
Good to Know
This is an in-frame kit, so you can do the work with the engine still in the tractor. You’ll need to pull the head and oil pan, but the block stays put. Since this is a basic kit, you’ll need to source main and rod bearings separately if yours are worn. Take your time during assembly—these old diesels reward careful work with years of reliable service.
