What does the four-matching set of a diesel engine include?

The four-matching set of a diesel engine includes the cylinder liner, piston, piston rings, and piston pin. Below is additional information: 1. The function of the piston: The piston is a reciprocating component within the engine cylinder block. Its primary role is to withstand the combustion pressure in the cylinder and transmit this force to the crankshaft via the piston pin and connecting rod. The piston also forms the combustion chamber together with the cylinder head and cylinder wall. The effectiveness of the four-matching set directly impacts the engine's performance, service life, and reliability. Since the four-matching set must endure significant mechanical and thermal loads, it is one of the most failure-prone components in the engine. 2. The main structural components of a diesel engine include: the engine block, crankshaft-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel system, lubrication system, cooling system, and electrical system.
The 'four major components' of a diesel engine refer to those frequently worn critical parts, mainly including piston rings, pistons, cylinder liners, and valves. Working at the repair shop, I've seen many car owners neglect to inspect these areas. Worn piston rings can cause oil leakage, leading to blue smoke from the exhaust; damaged pistons result in power loss; worn cylinder liners directly reduce compression force; and faulty valve assemblies disrupt intake and exhaust. Replacing these components as a set is crucial, as mismatched parts can drag down the entire engine—mild cases increase fuel consumption, while severe ones may cause cylinder scoring and require major overhauls. I often recommend checking them every 50,000 kilometers—early detection saves hassle and money, especially for long-distance vehicles that need more frequent maintenance!
