The piston and piston ring make up the floor of the combustion chamber. The piston takes the force of combustion and turns it into motion, transforming downward motion in the cylinder to the connecting rod and the rotary motion of the crankshaft. Most modern pistons last much longer than their forebears, but certain engine operating conditions like incorrect heat range spark plugs, lean fuel condition, bad knock sensor, low octane fuel or excessive boost pressure can cause pistons to burn/melt. Detonation, possibly caused by a faulty EGR valve, can result in piston cracks, and overheating and/or lack of lubrication can cause piston scuffing and scoring. Any of these faults will result in reduced compression and power, and require piston replacement.

The pistons are one of the most important parts of any good rebuild, so don't trust the selection of such a vital part to chance. Omix-Ada specializes in nothing but Jeeps, so you can be assured that the pistons they supply for your Jeep will fit and provide the most optimal performance. Each piston is specifically designed for the engine, with the materials that will withstand expected operating temperatures, with the proper configuration and dimensions to maintain the compression ratio, piston-to-cylinder bore clearance, and piston ring-to-ring land clearance according to specification. And if your engine required an overbore to bring into specs, Omix has the oversize pistons to complete the job.
