Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The Engine Piston Kit (Part Number: 3800756) for Cummins® commercial trucks is a crucial component of the engine. It consists of a cylindrical structure, usually made of high-strength aluminum alloy, that moves up and down within the engine cylinder. The piston is connected to the connecting rod, and its primary function is to convert the energy generated by the combustion of fuel into mechanical motion. As the fuel-air mixture ignites inside the cylinder, it creates a rapid expansion of gases, which forces the piston downward. This downward motion is transmitted through the connecting rod to the crankshaft, generating rotational motion and powering the vehicle. The piston also forms a seal with the cylinder wall, ensuring efficient combustion and preventing the escape of gases. In summary, the Engine Piston Kit plays a vital role in the internal combustion process, converting the energy of fuel into mechanical power to propel the Cummins® commercial truck.
