Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

An engine piston kit, identified by part number 2882118, is a crucial component in the operation of a truck's engine. Comprised of several parts, including the piston itself, piston rings and wrist pins, this kit is responsible for converting fuel into energy that powers the vehicle. The piston moves up and down inside the cylinder bore, compressing air and fuel mixture before igniting it with a spark plug. Made from high-quality materials such as aluminum or steel alloys, these kits undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand high temperatures and pressures without cracking or failing. Over time, wear and tear can cause damage to these components which may result in decreased performance or even engine failure if not addressed promptly. Regular maintenance on an engine piston kit can help extend its lifespan and keep your truck running smoothly for years to come.
