Yanmar N18 Anti Polishing Ring
Mega Marine supplies genuine and reconditioned anti polishing ring for Yanmar N18 marine engines, along with complete engines and a comprehensive range of spare parts. Fast RFQ response and global delivery.
The anti-polishing ring is fitted at the top of the cylinder liner in the dead zone above the top piston ring travel. As the piston approaches top dead centre, this ring scrapes carbon and varnish deposits from the piston top land, preventing the build-up that causes polishing of the upper liner bore — a major source of accelerated wear and increased oil consumption in marine diesel engines.
Function in the Engine
Scrapes carbon deposits from the piston top land on each upstroke, prevents carbon build-up in the bore zone above piston ring travel, maintains the honed surface finish in the critical upper liner area, reduces overall liner and ring wear rates.
