Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The engine piston kit, identified by part number 3802251, is a set of components that work together to convert the energy produced by fuel combustion into mechanical power in an internal combustion engine. The kit typically includes the piston, piston rings, wrist pin and circlips. The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up and down within the engine cylinder to compress air and fuel mixture before ignition. The piston rings seal the gap between the piston and cylinder wall to prevent leakage of gases during compression and combustion. The wrist pin connects the piston to the connecting rod which transfers motion from the reciprocating motion of the pistons to rotational motion of crankshaft. Circlips are used to secure components in place within an engine assembly. Overall, a well-designed and properly functioning engine piston kit plays a critical role in ensuring optimal performance, efficiency and durability of an internal combustion engine.
