Description
When your John Deere’s getting long in the tooth and you’re noticing white or blue smoke from the exhaust, poor idle quality, or just a general lack of power, it’s often the valves telling you they need attention. The 329 and 359 CID 6-cylinder diesels were workhorses in their day, and this valve overhaul kit gives you everything needed to bring that valve train back to proper specs without hunting down a dozen separate parts.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of intake and exhaust valves sized exactly right for your engine
- New valve springs that provide proper sealing pressure without over-stressing components
- Fresh valve caps and keys that ensure everything stays where it should under load
- Quality TISCO parts built to handle the demands of diesel operation
- One kit handles the complete job – no need to order multiple part numbers
Built for Real Farm Work
These 329 and 359 cubic inch diesels powered a wide range of John Deere tractors and equipment through the years. Whether you’re rebuilding the engine in an older utility tractor that handles daily chores around the farm or restoring a piece of equipment that’s been sitting in the shed, this valve kit gets the job done right. The 6-cylinder design provided smooth power for everything from field work to loader applications.
Made to Last
TISCO builds their valve components to meet or exceed original specifications because they understand these engines work hard for a living. The valves are made from materials that can handle the heat cycles and compression pressures of diesel operation, while the springs maintain proper tension through thousands of operating hours. Quality keepers and caps ensure everything stays assembled even when the engine’s working at full load.
Good to Know
This is typically part of a larger engine rebuild, so plan accordingly. You’ll want to have the head checked for flatness and the valve guides inspected while you’re this deep into the engine. Most rebuilders recommend replacing the head gasket at the same time since you’re already there. Make sure to follow proper torque specifications when reassembling – these diesel engines need everything tight to handle the compression pressures they develop.
