Description

When your IH tractor starts running rough, losing power, or burning oil, it might be time to look at the valve train. Valves that don’t seat properly or springs that have lost their tension can rob you of power and fuel economy just when you need performance the most. This valve overhaul kit gives you everything you need to restore proper compression and get your engine breathing like it should again.

What You’re Getting

Complete set of intake and exhaust valves engineered to OEM specifications for proper seating and heat transfer
Heavy-duty valve springs that maintain correct tension through thousands of operating cycles
Precision valve guides that ensure proper valve alignment and prevent oil burning
Valve keepers (locks) that secure everything in place and handle the loads these engines put out
Quality TISCO components built to handle the demands of farm work

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is designed specifically for International Harvester 4-cylinder gas engines that power a wide range of utility and row-crop tractors. Whether you’re running cultivation equipment, hay machinery, or general farm implements, these are the same quality components that came in your engine from the factory.

Made to Last

Farm engines work hard in dusty conditions with temperature extremes that would kill a car engine. These valve components are built with materials that resist wear and corrosion while maintaining precise tolerances. The springs are heat-treated to resist fatigue, and the valves are designed to handle the high combustion temperatures of agricultural work.

Good to Know

A valve job requires removing the cylinder head and having the valve seats machined, so plan on some downtime or take it to a machine shop. While you’re in there, it’s a good time to check the head for cracks and replace the head gasket. Make sure to torque everything to spec when you reassemble—proper valve lash is critical for performance and longevity.
