Description

When you start hearing that familiar knock or notice blue smoke on startup, it’s time for more than just an oil change. Your International Harvester’s engine is telling you it needs some serious attention, and this sleeve and piston kit gives you everything to bring those cylinders back to life. No need to hunt down parts piece by piece—this complete kit has all the core components for a proper rebuild.

What You’re Getting

Complete cylinder sleeves with proper seals to restore compression and eliminate blow-by
Matched pistons engineered to handle the heat and pressure of farm work
Quality rings that seal tight and last through long seasons
Wrist pins and retainers—all the small parts you need for a complete job
TISCO quality that matches OEM specifications without the dealer markup

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is designed for International Harvester tractors that have seen their share of hard work. Whether your machine spends its days pulling implements, running a loader, or powering the PTO, these components are built to handle the demanding conditions that come with farm life. The stepped-head piston design and precision-machined sleeves work together to restore your engine’s power and efficiency.

Made to Last

Farm engines don’t get babied, so these parts are built accordingly. The cylinder sleeves use proper metallurgy to resist wear and handle thermal cycling, while the pistons feature reinforced ring lands that won’t crack under pressure. You’re getting components that’ll hold up to the next overhaul interval, not just get you through the season.

Good to Know

This is a complete rebuild job that requires proper machine shop work—bore measurements, deck surfacing, and careful assembly. Make sure to check your rod and main bearings while you’ve got everything apart. Having fresh rings means nothing if your bearings are shot. A good shop will measure everything and make sure your block is square before final assembly.
