IPD launched several new engine repair parts kits for selected Cummins ISX engine applications, each featuring a new “closed skirt” design EGR piston.

The company said it now offers this new piston design in a piston kit, cylinder kit and in-frame overhaul kit. Features include a reduced diameter top land that helps reduce oil consumption and also minimizes liner polishing due to carbon packing. This top land specification allows any carbon that forms to flake off instead of forming a bridge between the piston and liner.

According to the company, it continues to expand the IPD brand of high quality replacement parts for Cummins applications. “IPD is aware of a growing need in the market for cost effective, high performance ISX service replacement alternatives, specifically for closed skirt EGR piston applications,” notes Steve Scott, director of product development and technical support at IPD. “These new kits further expand our popular Cummins line of high quality service replacement components.”
