IPD’s cylinder kits and components for C15 industrial specification engines are now available from official southern African distributor Metric Automotive Engineering.

IPD’s 50-plus years of experience and expertise are evident in its approach to engineering products that optimise equipment uptime. The kits include the new IPDSteel® friction welded piston design, which features an integral cooling oil reservoir formed in the crown. The design provides a number of benefits for C15 engines including improved crown strength and flex resistance, particularly at the sealing ring area. The kits also provide superior protection against excessive oil consumption, operating temperatures and combustion blow-by.

Another element that has received attention in the development of the new C15 cylinder kits is the inclusion of two-piece oil dam inserts, a great improvement over traditional one-piece piston designs. The new kits are available with a standard OE style liner as well as IPD’s IPDStyle® Crevice Seal Liner for enhanced performance. The crevice seal is a wide rectangular shaped seal that is placed into a tapered liner groove. This provides a wider contact surface, deeper into the engine block, for improved sealing and a wedge effect when the liner is installed, resulting in a secure fit for minimised liner movement. Four variants of the cylinder kit, manufactured to the same stringent standards displayed by the 8000 Caterpillar products in the IPD range, are available from Metric Automotive Engineering
