Whether you’re rebuilding the whole engine or just fixing a problem cylinder, these sleeves bring your 164 cubic inch engine back to life.
What You’re Getting

Built for Real Farm Work
This sleeve set fits the classic 4-cylinder distillate engine with 164 cubic inch displacement, found in many International Harvester tractors from the era when distillate fuel was common. These engines were workhorses on farms across America, powering cultivators, hay equipment, and general farm operations where reliable, simple power was needed day after day.
Made to Last
TISCO builds these sleeves to handle the thermal cycling and combustion pressures that come with distillate operation. The material and machining tolerances are designed to provide the proper clearances your engine needs, whether you’re running it hard in the field or using it for belt work around the farmstead.
Good to Know
This is a complete sleeve set for all four cylinders—don’t mix old and new sleeves if you want consistent performance. The set includes both standard 3-1/2 inch bore and 3-9/16 inch overbore options, so measure your cylinders carefully before installation. Take your time during fitment and use proper honing techniques for the best results.
