CONSTRUCTION
A piston provided with a combustion chamber is used.
The piston is made of aluminum-silicon alloy.
A cooling channel has been provided to reduce the piston temperature and achieve high reliability.
The top ring groove uses a cast-in ring carrier to improve wear resistance.
A graphite (graphal procedure) coating is applied to the piston skirt portion in order to achieve friction loss reduction.
The top inner edge of the No. 1 compression ring is chamfered. The outer surface of the No. 1 compression ring is polished and slightly crowned. The No. 1 compression ring has a chrome ceramic layer for low wear.
The No. 2 compression ring has a sharp lower edge which gives the ring an oil-stripping effect.
The running surface of the oil ring is chromium-coated.
