Description

When your diesel starts burning oil, making noise, or losing power, you know it’s time for a major rebuild. An engine overhaul isn’t something you do every season, but when that 318 cubic inch workhorse in your Massey starts showing its age, this complete kit gives you everything needed to bring it back to like-new performance. This is the kind of investment that’ll keep your tractor or combine running for years to come.

What You’re Getting

Complete sleeve and piston assembly with rings for proper compression and sealing
Full gasket set that covers every seal in the engine block
New valves, springs, and guides to restore proper breathing
Rod and main bearings with .010 oversize for worn cranks
All the small parts like pins, retainers, and seals that complete the job

Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work

This kit fits the 4-cylinder diesel engines found in Massey Ferguson 540 series combines and the 285, 1080, and 1085 series tractors. These machines handle some of the toughest work on the farm – from harvest operations that run around the clock to heavy fieldwork with implements. The 318 cubic inch displacement and angled injector design were built for torque and reliability, and this overhaul kit maintains those same standards.

Quality That Holds Up

The sleeves are precision-honed for proper piston fit, and the valve components are manufactured to handle the heat and pressure of diesel combustion. The gasket set uses materials that seal properly under compression while resisting the chemicals and temperatures found in modern diesel fuel and oil.

Installation Notes

This is a complete rebuild, so plan on having the engine out of the machine and the block at a machine shop for proper preparation. The .010 oversize bearings mean your crank will need turning, and the cylinder bores should be checked for straightness. Having all the parts in one kit means you won’t be waiting for backorders when you’re ready to reassemble.
