Cylinder Block Bushing
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Cylinder Block Bushing, also known as a sleeve, is a cylindrical metal component that is inserted into the cylinder block of an engine. Its primary function is to provide a smooth and durable surface for the piston to move up and down within the cylinder. The Cylinder Block Bushing is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, and is made from materials such as cast iron or steel. It is an essential part of the engine, as it helps to maintain the proper alignment of the piston and prevents excessive wear and tear on the cylinder walls. Without the Cylinder Block Bushing, the engine would not be able to function properly, leading to decreased performance and potential engine failure. In commercial trucks, the Cylinder Block Bushing is particularly important due to the heavy loads and long distances that these vehicles travel. It is crucial for the bushing to be of high quality and durability, as it must withstand the constant stress and strain of the engine's operation. Regular maintenance and replacement of the Cylinder Block Bushing is necessary to ensure the longevity and reliability of the engine. Overall, the Cylinder Block Bushing is a vital part of the engine's operation, providing a smooth and efficient movement of the piston within the cylinder block.
