Piston and Rod Sets

Piston & rod sets are components that work together to convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational motion of the crankshaft. The piston & rod set consists of a piston, connecting rod, & piston rings. The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up & down inside the engine cylinder & is responsible for compressing the air-fuel mixture & transferring the energy generated by combustion to the connecting rod. The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft & converts the linear motion of the piston into rotary motion. It is essential for the connecting rod to be strong, durable, & properly balanced to withstand the high forces & stresses during engine operation. Piston rings are installed on the piston to provide a seal between the piston & the cylinder walls, preventing gas leakage & ensuring efficient combustion. Upgrading to aftermarket piston & rod sets can enhance engine performance by offering improved strength, reduced weight, & enhanced durability. Proper installation & maintenance of the piston & rod set are crucial for optimal engine performance & longevity, as any wear or damage to these components can lead to reduced power, increased oil consumption, & potential engine failure.
