Frequently Asked Questions
Engine Overhaul Kits
What's included in an Inframe Engine Overhaul Kit?
Contents can vary slightly depending on the engine, but a typical Inframe Kit includes:
- Cylinder Kits or Piston Kits (depending on whether your engine uses a sleeved or parent-bore block)
- Rod Bearings
- Main Bearings (including thrust bearings/washers)
- Upper Gasket Set
- Oil Pan Gasket
What's included in an Out-of-Frame Engine Overhaul Kit?
Contents can vary slightly depending on the engine, but a typical Out-of-Frame Kit includes:
- Cylinder Kits or Piston Kits (depending on whether your engine uses a sleeved or parent-bore block)
- Rod Bearings
- Main Bearings (including thrust bearings/washers)
- Full Engine Gasket Set
- Front Crankshaft Oil Seal
- Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal
My engine doesn't have cylinder sleeves. Will repair sleeves be included in my Engine Overhaul Kit?
No, repair sleeves are typically not included in Engine Overhaul Kits for sleeveless (parent-bore) engines. However, oversized piston kits are usually available so a machine shop can bore out your cylinder block to accept the larger pistons.
I have a sleeveless engine and my cylinder block is already bored to its maximum. What are my options?
Replacing a cylinder block can be expensive, but it's not always necessary. Aftermarket repair sleeves can sometimes be purchased and installed by a machine shop to bring the bore back to standard. If aftermarket sleeves aren't available, many machine shops can special-order generic sleeve stock to repair your block. As a last resort, if repair sleeves cannot be installed, we can often locate used cylinder blocks.
Are camshaft bearings included in my Engine Overhaul Kit?
If your engine uses camshaft bearings (not all do), they are typically included in Out-of-Frame Kits but not in Inframe Kits. Check the kit's product description for a complete list of included components.
Are connecting rod bolts included in my Engine Overhaul Kit?
This depends on the engine make and model. Many of our kits include rod bolts, especially for applications using torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts. TTY bolts stretch slightly when properly torqued and cannot be reused once removed. Check the kit's product description for a complete list of included components.
Are piston pin bushings included in my Engine Overhaul Kit?
In many cases, yes—provided your engine uses piston pin bushings (not all do). Check the kit's product description for a complete list of included components.
Why won't my piston pin fit through my piston pin bushing?
Nearly all heavy-duty diesel piston pin bushings are manufactured slightly undersized and are designed to be finish-machined after installation in the connecting rod. This allows a machine shop to hone or ream the bushing to achieve the precise clearance required for your specific piston pin. In short, new bushings are designed to be too small and require additional machining.
Is an engine oil pump included in my Engine Overhaul Kit?
No, oil pumps are not typically included in Engine Overhaul Kits but are often available separately.

Do used parts need to be sent through a machine shop before installation?
Every used part is unique. Some may not require professional cleaning or remachining. However, for major castings such as connecting rods, camshafts, cylinder blocks, and cylinder heads, we generally recommend having them inspected, cleaned, and remachined to factory specifications by a reputable machine shop before installation.
