AFA Industries introduces a one-piece steel piston.
AFA Industries says its new piston is part number D23536256. The piston features Monotherm design, and is available for single purchase and as part of AFA’s piston, in-frame and complete overhaul kits for the Detroit Diesel Series 60 14-liter engines.
Features and benefits of the kit packages are said to include:
- Special proprietary coating on the piston rings to reduce high heat scuffing and provide excellent break-in protection.
- Manganese Phosphate coating on the piston to improve break-in performance, provide superior corrosion resistance and help reduce pin bore scuffing.
- Induction hardened liners for strength and improved wear resistance.
- AFA’s AFAGRAPH®Graphite Cylinder Head Gasket that features steel staked water jacket grommets, stainless steel fire rings and a rigid steel core that provides superior sealing capabilities.
- Advanced alloy rod and main bearings for enhanced durability.
