Precision Remanufacturing Backed by Real Testing
At Turbo Kings, every International 5004613 BV air compressor is rebuilt through a structured, OEM-verified process designed to deliver lasting reliability and measured output performance.
Manufactured by Bendix and installed by Navistar / International on DT466, DT466E, HT530, and HT570 enginesbetween 1998 and 2004, this compressor is part of the proven TF-550 series — a two-cylinder, single-stage, water-cooled, gear-driven design trusted across medium- and heavy-duty fleets.
The BV designation identifies the Bottom Valve configuration, where the discharge valve assembly is positioned on the underside of the compressor head.
This orientation allows more compact routing in tight DT engine bays and simplifies integration with specific air-line and cooling layouts used in vocational and municipal International chassis.
Performance output remains identical to other TF-550 configurations, producing approximately 16.5 CFM at 1250 RPMunder standard operating conditions.
At Turbo Kings, rebuild quality starts from the core. Each compressor is completely disassembled, media-cleaned, and precision-inspected before reassembly. Cylinder bores are checked for taper and scoring, crank journals and bearings are measured for clearance, and valve seating surfaces are refinished or replaced as needed.
All critical internals — pistons, bearings, connecting rods, crank assemblies, and valve plates — are replaced with Bendix-spec OEM-grade components, ensuring restored compression balance, output consistency, and oil control.
All air and coolant passages are ultrasonically cleaned, removing scale, carbon, and oil buildup that restrict flow and reduce heat transfer. Ultrasonic cleaning restores full internal cross-section and cooling efficiency, allowing consistent thermal balance and air delivery under sustained duty cycles.
After assembly, every compressor is bench-tested under simulated engine load, verifying pressure build rate, flow output, oil carryover limits, and leak integrity.
Only units that pass full functional testing are serialized, logged, and cleared for shipment.
This is genuine, verified OEM performance — confirmed right here at Turbo Kings.
