Engine Piston Kit
Cummins®

The Engine Piston Kit (part number 5405828) is a set of components that work together to transfer the force of combustion into mechanical power. The kit includes pistons, piston rings, wrist pins, and circlips. Pistons are cylindrical components that move up and down within the cylinders of the engine block. They are responsible for compressing fuel and air during the intake stroke and transferring energy from combustion to the crankshaft during the power stroke. Piston rings provide a seal between the piston and cylinder wall to prevent oil from entering the combustion chamber while also assisting in heat transfer. Wrist pins connect pistons to connecting rods while circlips hold wrist pins in place. High-quality materials such as aluminum alloys or cast iron are used for construction to ensure durability under high-temperature conditions. The Engine Piston Kit is an essential component in internal combustion engines found in trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles that require reliable performance under demanding conditions.
