Multiquip 1612340301 Piston Complete 0.50mm

The Multiquip 1612340301 Piston Complete 0.50mm is a genuine OEM component designed for MT85 series rammers. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, this piston is manufactured to the exact tolerances required to restore proper compression and engine performance in your MT85 tamper. Verified fitment against MT85 model applications means you can install with confidence and get your machine back to work without compatibility concerns.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Compression Tolerancing — Manufactured to the exact bore and ring-groove dimensions required to maintain proper compression in the MT85 engine, not an approximation.
• 0.50mm Oversize Specification — This piston is sized 0.50mm over standard bore, intended for use after cylinder honing or boring — verify your cylinder measurement before ordering.
• Direct-Fit MT85 Replacement — Engineered specifically for the MT85 rammer; drops in as a complete piston assembly without secondary machining or modification to the cylinder housing.
• Restore Full Tamping Power — A worn or damaged piston causes loss of compression, hard starting, and reduced impact force. Replacing with 1612340301 returns the rammer to full operating output.
• Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this is the same component used in original production — no substitutions, no guesswork on material grade or dimensional accuracy.

The piston is the reciprocating heart of a rammer's two-stroke or four-stroke engine, converting combustion pressure into the mechanical energy that drives the tamping foot into the ground. When a piston wears, scores, or cracks, compression drops sharply — leading to rough running, difficult starting, and a significant loss of compaction force. Replacing the piston with a correctly sized oversize unit, paired with a properly honed cylinder, restores the engine's ability to build full combustion pressure and deliver consistent impact energy with every stroke.
