GMC Acadia Piston
The Piston in GMC Acadia vehicles is one of the essential components of the internal combustion engine whose function is to transform combustion power to the energy required for the car's movement. It works through transmission of force from the expanding gases to the crank shafts in a floral process leading to worthy engine performance. Usually it is made of aluminium alloys for greater strength and lighter weight, a piston can also provide cooling channels and gas sealing piston rings. There have been various types of pistons which has been incorporated in Acadia models hereby below, trunk pistons for both Petrol and diesel; these have side forces support and has oil rings. Also, racing pistons are light in weight but stronger to support high mechanical rpms the slipper type on the other hand offer balance and efficiency in high speed utilization. Each type is set to fit the optimal in certain circumstances to increase the functionality and durability of the engine.
Each OEM GMC Acadia Piston we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
GMC Acadia Piston Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove the piston/connecting rod assemblies?A: A special tool is used to eliminate ridges at the upper limit of ring travel in each cylinder. This will help prevent piston breakage when removing piston/connecting rod assemblies. Then, with the engine in a position such that the Crankshaft faces up, check connecting rod end play using feeler gauges and change connecting rods if necessary. Mark the connecting rods and caps for identification, before removing the cap bolts. Use new bolts for reassembly but keep the old ones for an oil clearance check. The number one connecting rod cap with bearing insert should be carefully removed making sure that the ridge was completely removed. Repeat this process for all cylinders, and reassemble the connecting rod caps and bearing inserts loosely to protect the bearing surfaces during further inspection and overhaul at an automotive machine shop. Before you can install new piston rings, it is necessary to check their ring end gaps and ensure proper side clearance. Take the top ring and put it into first cylinder, measure end gap with feeler gauges and see if it falls within specified range. Adjust gap if necessary by either filing ends to increase or simply verifying you have correct rings. Install oil control ring components followed by number two and one rings while being careful about their orientation. Piston ring installation tool should be employed on top as well as middle rings with respect to number two and one rings respectively, keeping their orientations right. Afterward, check and adjust the ring end gaps for all rings in each cylinder, keeping components matched. Ensure that walls of cylinders are clean before installing piston/connecting rod assemblies; bore top edges should be chamfered while crankshaft should be in place too Remove the cap from number one connecting rod after thoroughly cleaning bearing surfaces then lay in new upper bearing insert Insert lower bearing insert into cap (making sure tab fits into recess) while keeping both mating surfaces clean & free of oil Placement of the piston ring gaps correctly on lubricated pistons ensures their compression in a piston ring compressor. A piston and rings are then lubricated with engine oil as their compressor gets used. Insert the piston/connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore, guiding the connecting rod onto the crankshaft journal with a gentle tap while being cautious not to force it. Check for any resistance and resolve issues before proceeding. Once installed, use Plastigage to check connecting rod bearing oil clearance before permanently attaching the rod cap using new bolts. Apply molybase grease or engine assembly lube on both bearing faces ensuring a clean surface. Repeat this process for all pistons/connecting rods, confirming cleanliness, proper orientation, and lubrication. Rotate the crankshaft by hand to check for binding, and verify the connecting rod endplay, resizing them if necessary at an automotive machine shop.
