The 414/436/466 was one of IH's best engines and still used in Navistar trucks. I think they were the one think IH did right. The reason why so many were rebuilt a 5,000 hours is a problem that developed with all wet sleeve engines - cavatation at the bottom of the selves that drilled tiny holes through the sleeve allowing water to mix with the oil. This problem was solved with a coolant additive and water filter. If this was known earlier you would see more 10,000 hour engines out there with out a rebuild. IH's big problem and downfall was their transmissions and especially their shifters and linkage. If IH came out with a shift on the go transmission earlier IH might be in John Deer’s place today instead of a re-branded FIAT.
