Pistons are one of the most important components of an engine, converting the combustion energy generated by the explosion of the fuel-air mixture into linear mechanical motion that is transmitted to the crankshaft to rotate the wheels.
This assembly consists of the piston and the piston pin or gudgeon pin, and they work together in a high pressure and high temperature environment.
Pajero engine piston specifications:
- Country of Origin: Japan
- Car brand: Mitsubishi
- Product Number: 1110C241
- Compatible models: Mitsubishi Pajero 3500 engine
- Mitsubishi L200 Pickup 3500cc
Basic components: Piston:
- A cylindrical piece of metal that moves up and down inside a cylinder.
- It has cavities for installing piston rings.
- Piston Pin:
- A cylindrical metal pin that connects the piston to the connecting rod.
- Allows the piston to move freely while remaining connected to the crankshaft.
Main functions: Energy conversion:
- Converts the energy generated by combustion inside the cylinder into mechanical energy.
- Transmission:
- The piston transmits force to the connecting rod and then to the crankshaft to rotate the engine.
- Heat and pressure tolerance:
- Designed to withstand high temperatures and extreme pressure without losing shape or performance.
Technical Specifications: Material:
- High-strength aluminum or aluminum alloys to reduce weight and increase thermal conductivity.
- The pin is often made of hardened steel to withstand constant pressure and movement.
- Design:
- Streamlined design to reduce friction.
- It has holes or cavities to relieve weight and improve balance.
Signs of piston or pin damage:
- Piston slap.
- Excessive oil consumption or blue smoke from the exhaust.
- Low engine compression or poor performance.
- Abnormal vibration or clicking noise in the engine.
Benefits of replacing with a new set:
- Improve engine efficiency.
- Restore ideal combustion pressure.
- Reduce oil and fuel consumption.
- Reduce emissions and increase engine life.
