Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The Engine Piston Kit (part number 3802490) is a set of components that work together to provide efficient combustion within an internal combustion engine. The kit typically includes the piston, piston rings, wrist pin, and retaining clips. The piston is the main component of the kit and serves as a movable seal that separates the combustion chamber from the crankcase. It moves up and down in response to the explosions in the engine cylinders, transferring energy to the connecting rod which drives the crankshaft. The piston rings provide a seal between the piston and cylinder walls, preventing gases from escaping during combustion. The wrist pin connects the piston to connecting rod and allows for smooth movement between them. Retaining clips hold everything in place within the engine block. Overall, this kit plays a vital role in ensuring proper engine function by providing compression, sealing off leaks, transferring energy efficiently and reducing friction within an internal combustion engine.
