Description
When your Ford diesel starts burning oil, losing power, or just doesn’t have the guts it used to, you know it’s time for a proper rebuild. This complete overhaul kit for the 256 cubic inch, 4-cylinder diesel with 4.4 inch standard bore gives you everything you need to bring that engine back to like-new performance. Instead of limping along with band-aid fixes, this kit lets you tackle the whole job at once and get back to reliable farming.
What You’re Getting
- Standard pistons and rings engineered to factory specs for proper compression and oil control
- Complete gasket set so you can seal everything up tight without multiple trips to town
- Pin bushings, cam bearings, and both rod and main bearings for a thorough bottom-end rebuild
- Brand new intake and exhaust valves with springs and keys for complete valve train refresh
- Everything precision-matched to work together, eliminating guesswork and compatibility issues
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed for Ford’s workhorse tractors from the late ’70s and early ’80s – the 5600 and 5700 models from October 1980 through 1981, plus the 6600 and 6700 series from 1975 through September 1980. These were the tractors that handled everything from field work to loader duty, and this overhaul kit brings back that original reliability and power.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to handle the heat, pressure, and constant stress of diesel operation. The pistons are cast to exact tolerances, the gaskets use materials that resist the high temperatures of diesel combustion, and the bearings are designed for the heavy loads these engines produce under working conditions.
Good to Know
This is a complete overhaul, not a patch job – plan on having the engine out of the tractor and properly disassembled. While you’re this deep into things, it’s smart to have the block and head checked for cracks and the crankshaft measured for wear. Most experienced mechanics also recommend replacing the water pump, fuel injection components, and all filters while everything’s apart.
