Complete Engine Overhaul Kit for International Harvester 164 CID Distillate Tractors

Description

When your old IH distillate engine starts burning oil, losing compression, or making those grinding sounds that tell you it’s time for a rebuild, this complete overhaul kit gets you back to reliable power. This Tru-Power kit contains everything you need except bearings—sleeves and seals, pistons and rings, pins and retainers, pin bushings, complete gasket set, crankshaft seals, intake and exhaust valves, springs, guides, and valve keys. It’s designed specifically for your 164 cubic inch distillate engine and takes the guesswork out of ordering parts.

What You’re Getting

• Comes with both standard 3-1/2 inch bore and 3-9/16 inch overbore pistons so you can handle whatever condition your cylinders are in
• Stepped-head pistons designed specifically for distillate fuel characteristics and 5-1/16 inch valve length
• Complete valve train components including new valves, springs, guides, and keys for fresh breathing
• Full gasket set plus crankshaft seals to stop those annoying oil leaks for good
• Quality sleeves and seals that’ll give you years of reliable service

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is engineered for International Harvester’s 4-cylinder 164 CID distillate engines that powered many of the classic IH tractors from the era when distillate fuel was a cost-effective alternative to gasoline. These engines were workhorses on farms across the country, running everything from cultivating and planting to belt-driven equipment like threshers and balers.

Made to Last

Tru-Power has been building engine kits for decades and knows what it takes to handle the unique demands of distillate engines. The stepped-head pistons are designed to work with the different combustion characteristics of distillate fuel, while the valve components are built to handle the heat and deposits that come with this fuel type.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul kit minus the bearings—you’ll need to order those separately based on your crankshaft condition. Plan on having your block and head checked for cracks and warpage before assembly. If you’re not familiar with distillate engine rebuilds, consider having a shop that knows these old engines handle the work—they have their quirks compared to modern gas engines.
