This cylinder kit is designed for engines with a two-piece articulated piston, which separates the piston crown and skirt for improved strength and heat dissipation. This design is commonly used in turbocharged or high-load applications for increased reliability.
What’s Included in the Cylinder Kit:
Two-Piece Piston (Crown & Skirt Assembly)
The skirt is reinforced to handle load transfer, while the crown is designed for optimal combustion performance.
Cylinder Liner
Precision-machined and ported, this liner provides a durable cylinder wall surface for the piston.
Piston Rings (Oil Control & Compression)
A full ring set is included to ensure proper sealing and oil control inside the cylinder.
Piston Pin
Also called the wrist pin, it connects the piston to the connecting rod.
Pin Retainers
Secures the piston pin in place within the piston.
Slipper Bearings (Button Bearings)
Used in the piston skirt to reduce friction and wear during operation.
Seal O-Rings & Liner Seals
These ensure proper sealing between the liner and the block to prevent coolant or combustion gas leaks.
