AFA Industries announces the availability of an improved Ring Set for the Cummins N14 engine families. This Ring Set replaces A3804500 in most applications.
AFA says part number A4089489, is a Single Cylinder Ring Set that has a specially engineered oil ring in the set. This oil ring is made from Gas Nitrided Stainless Steel and provides additional hardness and scuff resistance for better ring to liner sealing capabilities, the company says. Gas Nitrided rings also provide overall strength only offered by a steel ring as well as provide high conformability, reduced piston ring mass, and less friction. AFA says these benefits allow for greater horsepower and extend the service life of the engine.
These ring sets come packaged in AFA cylinder kits that include application engineered pistons, designed specifically for Cummins N14 engines. These engines operate in very high-heat conditions and AFA says its engine parts are engineered to withstand the harshest operating environments. The company says it aluminum and forged steel pistons have specifically machined bowls using CAD/CAM engineering and production.
The gaskets are manufactured in AFA manufacturing facilities using high-temperature materials specific to the N14 engine applications, the company says.
