Piston Ring Set STD Cummins Engine 6C 8.3 – Engine 6CT 8.3 – Engine 6CTA 8.3
This is a set of piston rings. They perform three essential functions: they seal the combustion pressure between the piston and the cylinder, control the oil film on the cylinder wall, and help transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder.
Used on Cummins C Series, ISC 8.3, QSC 8.3, ISL, and QSL/QSL9 engines.
For QSL/ISL/ISC/QSC, it’s always a good idea to check the ESN and CPL, because the same engine may use different pistons and ring configurations depending on the version and model year.
The cylinder liner forms the cylindrical surface along which the piston and piston rings slide. It maintains the correct geometry of the cylinder, transfers heat to the engine block, and allows the engine to be rebuilt without having to replace the entire engine block. It is specified as a flanged cylinder liner and is supplied without sealing rings.
Cummins 6C-Series engines are also used in power plants, including the ISC 8.3, QSC 8.3, ISL 8.9 / 9, and QSL 8.9 / 9 models.
ESN – Engine Serial Number, CPL, Cummins QuickServe/OEM catalog, complete engine model and CM, stamped/cast number on the old liner, dimensional comparison of inner diameter/flange/length, or confirmation from Cummins.
