Description
When your IH tractor starts losing compression or you notice coolant mixing with oil, it’s usually time to pull the head and see what’s going on up there. Heat cycles and constant loads take their toll over years of faithful service, and while you could just replace the head gasket alone, all those other seals have endured the same heat cycles and age. This complete cylinder head service kit gives you everything you need to do the job right the first time.
What You’re Getting
- Complete gasket set with all seals and gaskets to properly seal your cylinder head and keep your engine running strong
- Multi-layer steel construction with specialized coatings that handle the extreme pressures and temperatures in diesel engines
- Fire rings around cylinder openings resist blow-out even if you’ve had some detonation issues
- Valve cover gaskets use modern materials that stay pliable longer than original rubber
Built for Real Farm Work
Four-cylinder diesel tractors are the workhorses on many farms – compact enough for orchard work and powerful enough for serious field duties. International Harvester tractors have been pulling their weight in American agriculture for generations, whether you’re running cultivators through corn, pulling hay equipment, or handling loader work around the farm. This service kit is designed to get your IH tractor back to full compression and keep it there.
Made to Last
The gasket materials are designed to handle the thermal cycling and high pressures of diesel operation without blowing out or losing compression. Quality construction means you won’t be tearing the engine down again in a year or two. These aren’t bargain-bin gaskets that’ll give you grief down the road.
Installation Notes
A successful head gasket job starts with proper diagnosis – make sure you’ve found why the original failed. Have the head checked for cracks and warpage at a machine shop, clean all surfaces meticulously, and follow the manual’s torque sequence precisely. During installation, ensure cylinder head surface is perfectly flat and clean all old gasket material thoroughly.
