Description
When you notice white smoke mixing with coolant or see signs of combustion gases in your cooling system, it’s time to address those worn gaskets before they turn into costly engine damage. This upper gasket set gives you everything needed to seal the top end of your John Deere’s 254 or 270 cubic inch diesel engine, restoring proper compression and keeping coolant and oil where they belong.
What You’re Getting
- Complete head gasket set designed for 254 CID and 270 CID 4-cylinder diesel engines
- TISCO quality construction that meets the demands of farm equipment operation
- Precise fit for specific engine block numbers to ensure proper sealing
- All gaskets needed for upper engine rebuild in one convenient kit
- Heat-resistant materials that handle the thermal cycling of diesel engines
Built for Real Farm Work
This gasket set is engineered for the 254 CID engine (block numbers R26160, R40910, R46350, R46430 only) and 270 CID engine (block numbers R32020, R40850 only, up to serial number 280000). These are the workhorses found in many John Deere tractors that spend their days pulling implements, running PTO equipment, and handling the demanding loads that come with farm work.
Made to Last
TISCO builds these gaskets to handle the extreme pressures and temperatures that diesel engines create. The materials resist the constant expansion and contraction cycles while maintaining proper sealing against combustion pressures, coolant, and oil passages. Quality construction means you won’t be doing this job again anytime soon.
Good to Know
Head gasket replacement is a significant job that requires proper torque specifications and sequences – have your manual handy and take your time. Check your engine block numbers carefully before ordering to ensure you get the right set for your specific engine configuration. This is also the perfect time to inspect your cylinder head for warping or cracks while everything’s apart.
