When your IH tractor starts burning oil or losing compression, worn piston rings are usually the culprit. You’ll hear that familiar knock on cold starts, see blue smoke out the exhaust, and notice your oil level dropping faster than it should. This TISCO piston ring set gets your engine sealing properly again so you can get back to the important work without worrying about engine damage.
What You’re Getting
- Complete ring set with compression rings and oil control rings for proper cylinder sealing
- Precision-manufactured rings that maintain proper tension against cylinder walls
- Durable materials that handle the heat and pressure of hard-working diesel engines
- Direct replacement rings that install with standard engine tools
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring set is designed for International Harvester tractors that spend their days pulling implements, running PTOs, and handling the demanding work that comes with farming and ranching. Whether you’re running older Farmall models or more recent IH machines, proper ring seal is critical for maintaining power and keeping your engine running clean.
Made to Last
TISCO builds these rings to handle the constant heat cycling, contamination, and pressure changes that farm engines endure. The metallurgy is designed for long service life, and the ring design provides consistent sealing even as the engine warms up and cools down through different operating conditions.
Good to Know
Installing piston rings requires removing the pistons from the engine, so this is typically part of a larger engine rebuild or overhaul project. Make sure to gap the rings properly for your specific bore size, and consider having the cylinders honed for best results. A ring compressor tool makes installation much easier and prevents ring damage.
