Complete Engine Overhaul Kit for International Harvester DT436 Turbocharged Diesel

Description

When your International Harvester’s DT436 diesel starts drinking oil, blowing smoke, or just doesn’t pull like it used to, you know it’s time for a complete overhaul. This comprehensive kit gives you everything you need to bring that 436 cubic inch turbocharged workhorse back to factory performance, except for the main bearings—which is perfect if your crank is still in good shape.

What You’re Getting

• Complete cylinder sleeves with seals to rebuild your bore properly and prevent compression loss
• Cupped-head pistons with rings and pins designed for the high-compression demands of turbo diesel operation
• Full valve train rebuild including intake and exhaust valves, springs, guides, and keys
• Complete gasket set with crankshaft seals to prevent leaks and keep oil where it belongs
• Everything’s precision-matched to work together for smooth, reliable operation

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit rebuilds the powerhouse DT436 engine that ran in International Harvester combines like the 1460, 1466, 1480, and 1486 series, plus the bigger 1566 and 1586 machines. These same engines also powered tractors in the 3388, 4166, 4186, 5088, and 6388 series. Whether you’re combining corn, cutting beans, or pulling heavy implements, this engine was built to handle the toughest farm work day after day.

Made to Last

Tru-Power builds these components to handle the heat, pressure, and constant use that farm engines see. The cupped-head pistons are designed specifically for turbocharged applications, and the valve components are built to handle the higher combustion temperatures. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a complete restoration that’ll give you years of reliable service.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul kit, so plan on some serious shop time or work with a qualified mechanic. The kit doesn’t include main and rod bearings, so you’ll want to have your crankshaft checked and order bearings separately if needed. Make sure to check your cylinder block for cracks while you’ve got it torn down—it’s the perfect time for a thorough inspection.
