When your International Harvester engine starts knocking or you notice lower oil pressure, those rod bearings have likely seen better days. Engine bearing failure doesn’t give you much warning, and when it happens, you’re looking at major engine damage if you keep running. This standard-size rod bearing kit gets you back to reliable power before things go from bad to expensive.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of precision-ground bearings sized to factory specifications
- High-quality materials that handle the heat and pressure of hard work
- Standard sizing fits worn but serviceable crankshafts without grinding
- All bearings included for a complete connecting rod rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit handles the demanding work International Harvester engines are known for – whether you’re pulling tillage equipment through tough ground, running a PTO-driven baler all day, or powering through harvest season. These bearings are engineered to maintain proper clearances and oil flow under the heavy loads farm work demands.
Made to Last
Farm engines work harder than most, and these TISCO bearings are built to match that workload. The bearing material provides excellent load-carrying capacity while maintaining the proper oil clearances your engine needs for long life and reliable lubrication.
Installation Notes
Before installing new bearings, measure your crankshaft journals with a micrometer to confirm standard sizing is correct. Clean everything thoroughly – any debris will destroy new bearings quickly. Use proper torque specifications on rod bolts and check bearing clearances with Plastigage if you want to be sure everything’s right.
