PISTON, PISTON RING, PISTON PIN CONSTRUCTION [L3]

BME011011010T03

• The pistons are made of aluminium alloy, which with stands heat and is highly conductive.
• The piston skirt is coated with graphite to reduce friction.
• The offset pistons are used to reduce piston-slapping noise.
• To prevent the piston from being reassembled in the wrong direction, the front mark (¨) is on the piston.
• Pistons and connecting rods cannot be disassembled because they are shrinkage fit.
