Cylinder liner for Cummins 6CT

The cylinder liner 286WN01 serves as the internal wall of the cylinder within the engine block. It creates a controlled environment for the piston to reciprocate, ensuring proper sealing during the combustion process. By housing the piston and its rings, this component maintains the necessary pressure for engine operation while facilitating heat transfer from the combustion chamber to the engine cooling system.

This part is compatible with the Cummins 6CT engine. It is engineered to meet the specific dimensional requirements of this engine series to ensure correct fitment and alignment within the block. Proper installation of the liner is necessary to maintain the integrity of the cylinder bore and to support the movement of the piston assembly during operation.

Cylinder liners are used in internal combustion engines to provide a replaceable wear surface for the piston. They allow for the restoration of the cylinder bore to original specifications during engine overhauls without requiring the replacement of the entire engine block. The liner surface must remain smooth and accurately sized to manage oil film thickness and compression levels effectively.
