Yanmar N165 Plunger
Mega Marine supplies genuine and reconditioned plunger for Yanmar N165 marine engines, along with complete engines and a comprehensive range of spare parts. Fast RFQ response and global delivery.
The fuel injection pump plunger and barrel are a precision-matched pair that meter and pressurise fuel oil for delivery to the fuel injector. Ground to tolerances within 1-2 microns, the plunger generates injection pressures of 800-1,500 bar. The helical groove machined into the plunger controls the injected fuel quantity by varying the effective stroke as the fuel rack rotates the plunger.
Function in the Engine
Pressurises fuel oil to injection pressure, meters the precise quantity of fuel per injection event through the helical control groove, times the start and end of injection in coordination with the camshaft drive and fuel rack position.
