Description
When you notice white smoke on startup or your oil consumption has gone through the roof, worn cylinder sleeves are usually the culprit. This cast iron replacement sleeve restores proper compression and oil control in your Perkins AD3-152 three-cylinder diesel engine. The Perkins AD3.152 has been powering Massey Ferguson tractors like the 35, 135, 148, and 240 for decades, and this sleeve brings that reliable engine back to factory specifications.
What You’re Getting
- Cast iron construction with .150 inch flange thickness for proper sealing and heat transfer
- Direct replacement design that restores original bore dimensions and compression ratios
- Precision-manufactured to handle the heat cycles and pressures of daily farm work
- Machined surfaces ensure proper piston ring seal and long service life
Built for Real Farm Work
This sleeve fits the legendary Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder engine found in Massey Ferguson 35, 135, 148, 240, and 550 tractors that were the backbone of small to medium farming operations from the 1960s through 1980s. Whether you’re running a loader, cultivating fields, or doing general farm maintenance with these 45-horsepower workhorses, proper cylinder sealing is essential for reliable power delivery.
Made to Last
Cast iron construction handles the constant heat cycling and combustion pressures that destroy inferior sleeves. The .150 inch flange thickness provides the structural strength needed to maintain proper head gasket sealing while conducting heat effectively to the cooling system. This isn’t a lightweight aftermarket sleeve – it’s built to restore your engine to original specifications and keep it running for years.
Good to Know
Engine rebuild work requires precision – make sure your machine shop checks bore alignment and cylinder head flatness before installation. Clean all gasket surfaces thoroughly and use proper torque specifications during reassembly. Since three sleeves are used in the AD3-152, consider replacing all three at once to ensure even compression across all cylinders.
