Description
When your John Deere’s engine starts burning oil, losing compression, or making those rattling noises that tell you it’s time for major work, this complete piston and sleeve kit gives you everything needed to bring that 359 cubic inch powerhouse back to life. Whether you’re dealing with blow-by past worn pistons or cylinders that have seen too many hours, this kit restores the tight tolerances your engine needs to deliver full power and efficiency again.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of six cylinder sleeves with proper 4.19 inch bore specifications
- Six three-ring pistons engineered for the 359 CID engine’s compression requirements
- All piston rings, pins, and retainers – no hunting for additional parts
- Heavy-duty 1-5/8 inch OD pins designed to handle turbocharged power levels
- Everything needed for a one-kit rebuild of all six cylinders
Built for Heavy-Duty Work
This kit is designed specifically for John Deere’s 359 cubic inch six-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engines. These powerplants were built for serious work – powering larger tractors through demanding field operations where reliability and power output are critical. The turbocharging and aftercooling systems mean higher cylinder pressures and temperatures, so every component is built to handle that extra stress.
Made to Last
The cylinder sleeves provide a fresh bore surface that seals properly with new rings, while the three-ring piston design gives you the compression control needed for efficient combustion. The pins and retainers are sized correctly for the increased loads that come with turbocharged operation. This isn’t a quick fix – it’s a complete restoration of your engine’s compression chambers.
Good to Know
This is a major rebuild project that requires engine teardown and precise machine work. Make sure your block is properly cleaned and inspected before installation. The sleeves need to be pressed in with proper equipment, and piston-to-wall clearances must be checked. If you’re not equipped for this level of work, this kit gives your machine shop everything they need for a complete job. Plan on checking bearing clearances and other wear items while the engine is apart.
