Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The Engine Piston Kit, identified by Part Number 3802484, is a crucial component of an internal combustion engine. It is responsible for transferring the force generated by the expanding gases during combustion to the crankshaft. The kit includes a piston, piston rings, and wrist pin. The piston is a cylindrical metal component that fits snugly inside the engine cylinder and moves up and down as fuel ignites within the cylinder. The piston rings serve to seal the gap between the cylinder wall and piston to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber while also helping to transfer heat away from the piston. Lastly, a wrist pin connects the connecting rod to the piston allowing it to pivot as it moves up and down in a reciprocating motion. The Engine Piston Kit is essential for proper engine function as it helps convert fuel energy into mechanical energy that powers your truck's movement.
