Dodge Challenger Pistons, Rings & Connecting Rods

Whereas pistons transform the thermal energy liberated from fuel into reciprocating motion, connecting rods and a crankshaft transform this linear motion into rotations for driving the wheels. The pistons slide inside the cylinders and have to fit tight in order to use pressure of the burnt gases in the most effective way. At the same time, if the pistons just contacted cylinder walls without any lubricant and special rings, the mechanical friction would be so significant that the engine wouldn’t be able to even start. Motor oil keeps friction is at the lowest possible level, and a set of rings, which each piston has at its disposal, help to create enough compression and guides excessive motor oil used for lubrication of the cylinder walls back to the oil pan.

Piston rings, however, are subjected to wear limiting their service life. The worn rings lead to loss of power and high motor oil consumption. If it’s time for your Dodge Challenger’s piston rings to be changed, or connecting rods or pistons are damaged, you need some of our upscale replacement parts. Our Dodge Challenger pistons, rings & connecting rods collection includes a large number of high-quality but yet reasonably priced products. Get them installed in your engine to ensure its long and worry-free operation.
