Essential Engine Component: Piston Assembly

The Piston Assembly is a critical component in your vehicle’s engine. It plays a pivotal role in the internal combustion process, transforming fuel into the mechanical energy that powers your car.

Functionality of the Piston Assembly

The assembly consists of a piston, piston rings, and a piston pin. The piston moves up and down within the engine's cylinder, creating a seal with the help of piston rings. This seal allows for the proper compression of air-fuel mixture before ignition. The piston pin connects the piston to the connecting rod, enabling the transfer of the combustion force to the crankshaft, resulting in engine power.

Consequences of a Faulty Piston Assembly

If the piston assembly is damaged or worn out, your engine may suffer from a range of issues including loss of power, increased oil consumption, excessive smoke from the exhaust, or even complete engine failure. It is paramount to ensure that this component is in optimal condition for your vehicle’s performance and longevity.
