Description

When your International’s 179 CID diesel starts showing its age with low compression, oil consumption, or that telltale blue smoke on startup, it’s time for a complete rebuild. This comprehensive overhaul kit gives you everything you need to bring that three-cylinder powerplant back to factory specifications—except the main and rod bearings, which you’ll want to have measured and ordered separately for a proper fit.

What You’re Getting

Complete cylinder sleeve set with seals for a perfect bore restoration
Cupped-head pistons with rings, pins, and retainers designed for diesel service
Full gasket set plus crankshaft seals to stop every possible leak
New intake and exhaust valves with springs, guides, and keys for proper sealing
Pin bushings and all the small parts that wear out during a rebuild

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the 454, 464, and 484 series tractors—reliable utility machines that handle everything from loader work to rotary cutting. These three-cylinder diesels were built tough for daily farm use, and with this overhaul kit, you can get another decade or more of dependable service from your International.

Made to Last

The Tru-Power components in this kit are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. The pistons are designed specifically for diesel combustion pressures, while the sleeves restore your standard 3-7/8 inch bore to like-new condition. Quality materials and precision machining ensure your rebuilt engine will handle years of hard work.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul kit minus bearings—you’ll need to have your crankshaft measured and order the appropriate main and rod bearings separately. Plan on having your cylinder head checked for cracks and valve seat work while you’re at it. With the engine apart, it’s also a good time to check the water pump, oil pump, and injection pump timing.
