Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

A engine piston kit is a set of components that includes the piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips needed to rebuild or replace the pistons in an engine. The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up and down inside the engine cylinder, transferring force from the expanding gases to the connecting rod. The rings are fitted around the piston to seal it against the cylinder walls and prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber. The wrist pin connects the piston to the connecting rod and allows it to pivot as it moves up and down. Finally, the circlips hold everything in place. A properly functioning engine piston kit is essential for maintaining engine performance and efficiency. Over time, these components can wear out due to heat, friction, or other factors. Replacing worn or damaged parts with a high-quality kit can help extend engine life and improve overall performance. It's important to choose a kit that matches your specific make and model of truck for optimal results.
