396-0368: 15:1 Compression Ratio Steel Piston Body

The Piston Body with a bushing refers to a design where the wrist pin bore of the piston has a bushing inserted. The Bushing is to reduce friction and wear between the wrist pin and the piston body. The wrist pin, also known as the piston pin, is the component that connects the piston to the connecting rod, allowing it to pivot during the engine's operation. Attributes: • Minimizes the contact area between the wrist pin and the piston body, reducing friction and associated energy losses • Provides a constant supply of lubrication to the wrist pin, even under high-temperature conditions • Reduces metal-to-metal contact between the wrist pin and the piston body resulting in decreased mechanical noise during engine operation Applications: The Piston Body with a bushing is used in the assembly of the Piston and Connecting Rod in the Cylinder Block to ensure smoother engine operation, increased efficiency, and overall enhanced engine performance.
