When you start noticing oil spots under your tractor or catch the smell of burning oil around the engine, chances are your crankshaft seals have given up the ghost. A failed gasket doesn’t just make a mess—it lets vital engine oil escape while allowing dirt and debris into your valve train. This replacement gasket seals things up tight, keeping your oil where it belongs and your engine protected. This seal kit gives you everything you need to keep that crankshaft properly sealed and your Perkins engine running clean.
What You’re Getting
- Viton seals that resist fuel and oil breakdown better than standard rubber for longer lasting performance
- Complete gasket set, crankshaft seals and all components needed for proper sealing
- Precision-engineered fit that matches original specifications exactly
- The gasket materials are designed to handle thermal cycling and high pressures of diesel operation without blowing out or losing compression
Built for Real Farm Work
The Perkins 3.152 powered some of agriculture’s most dependable tractors from the 1960s through 1980s, serving as the backbone of small to medium-scale farming operations worldwide. These engines ran everything from cultivation and planting to hay making and loader work. These Perkins engines power some of the most dependable tractors ever built—from the smaller 100 and 200 series perfect for hay operations and livestock work, up to the bigger 500 and 600 series that handle serious row-crop farming and heavy tillage. Whether you’re running a disc, spreading manure, or baling hay, these engines see long hours and tough conditions that demand quality sealing.
Made to Last
This Tru-Power kit is designed for tractors that work for a living. The pistons are built to handle compression, the rings seal tight season after season, and the gaskets stay flexible through freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior parts. TISCO seals are built to handle the demanding conditions of agricultural equipment. The rubber compound resists hardening from heat and cold cycles, while the metal housing maintains a tight fit even as the engine vibrates through thousands of hours of operation.
Installation Notes
Always check cylinder head flatness and condition before installing new gaskets, as warped or damaged heads will cause immediate gasket failure. Clean all old gasket material thoroughly and use proper torque sequences when reassembling to ensure even gasket compression and reliable sealing. Take your time with the prep work—a clean surface is half the battle for a leak-free seal that’ll last.
