Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The Engine Piston Kit, identified by part number 2882026, is a set of components that work together to transfer the energy generated during combustion in the engine cylinder to the crankshaft. The kit includes a piston, piston rings, and wristpin. The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up and down within the engine cylinder and compresses fuel and air mixture during intake stroke. During compression stroke, it ignites this mixture with spark plugs resulting in an explosion which drives the piston downwards creating power. The rings prevent leakage of gases between cylinder walls and pistons while lubricating oil is used to cool down moving parts such as pistons. The wristpin connects the connecting rod to the piston and allows for side-to-side movement during operation while ensuring stability. Engine Piston Kit plays an essential role in ensuring efficient performance of a truck's engine by providing necessary support for combustion process resulting in smooth functioning of all other components involved in powering up your vehicle.
