Pistons
The pistons are of aluminum and have two compression
rings and one oil scraper ring. The upper compression
ring, a Keystone ring, is coated with molybdenum which
contributes to reduced cylinder wear. There is a ring
carrier of a special tempered cast iron alloy for the up-
per compression ring which considerably increases the
service life of the pistons, rings and liners. The pistons
are cooled by a regulated quantity of oil directed against
the bottom of the pistons from a jet in the cylinder block.
The oil cools the piston and is returned to the sump.
The combustion area at the crown of the piston is de-
signed to provide uniform distribution of the fuel and ef-
fective combustion.

Timing gears
The camshaft, engine oil pump, injection pump, seawa-
ter pump and hydraulic pump, if fitted, are all driven off
the crankshaft via helical spur gears.
Helical spur gear wheels are used in order to keep en-
gine noise to a minimum.
