Description
When your old International Harvester tractor starts losing compression or burning oil, it’s usually the cylinders and pistons telling you they’ve had enough. After years of hard work in dusty conditions, cylinder walls get worn and pistons start getting sloppy in their bores. This complete sleeve and piston kit gives you everything you need to bring that tired engine back to life with factory-fresh compression and power.
What You’re Getting
- Complete cylinder sleeves that restore proper bore dimensions and surface finish
- Stepped-head pistons designed specifically for your IH engine’s combustion chamber
- Full set of piston rings, pins, and retainers – no hunting for missing pieces
- Everything matches your engine’s original specifications for proper fit and performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits International Harvester tractors with 164 cubic inch, 4-cylinder engines running a 3-9/16 inch standard bore. These were the workhorses on many classic IH tractors that spent their days pulling plows, running hay equipment, and handling the everyday jobs around the farm. Whether your tractor’s been sitting in the barn or working hard every season, this kit restores the heart of your engine.
Made to Last
These aren’t bargain parts – they’re built to handle the same kind of abuse your original engine components took for decades. The sleeves provide a fresh, properly finished surface for the rings to seal against, while the stepped-head pistons match your engine’s compression ratio and combustion chamber design. Quality materials and precise manufacturing mean you can expect years of reliable service.
Good to Know
This is a complete rebuild job, so you’ll want to check your cylinder head, valves, and bearings while you’ve got everything apart. The stepped-head design means these pistons are engineered specifically for your IH engine – don’t try to substitute flat-top pistons from another application. Take your time with the installation and follow proper torque specs for best results.
