The Multiquip ME078615 is a genuine OEM Standard Piston DCA85SSM designed for the DCA-85SSM ultra-silent diesel generator. Sold as a set of two, this factory-sourced component ensures your engine rebuild or piston replacement is completed with parts engineered to the exact specifications of the original. Multiquip OEM parts are produced to the same standards as the components installed at the factory, making ME078615 the correct choice when overhauling or restoring a DCA-85SSM generator. Verify your model code before ordering to confirm direct fitment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Piston Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact bore diameter and ring groove specifications required by the DCA-85SSM engine, ensuring proper compression and combustion chamber sealing.
- Set of Two Pistons — Supplied as a matched pair (qty. 2), allowing a complete multi-cylinder service without sourcing additional units separately.
- Direct Fitment for DCA-85SSM — Engineered specifically for the DCA-85SSM ultra-silent diesel generator; installs as a drop-in replacement within the existing cylinder bore.
- Restored Engine Compression — Worn or scored pistons cause loss of compression, increased oil consumption, and rough generator output; replacing with this part restores proper engine performance and stable power delivery.
- Fuel System Integrity — Correct piston fit maintains the combustion seal that keeps fuel burn efficient, protecting downstream generator components from the effects of blow-by and contamination.
The piston is the reciprocating component inside the engine cylinder that transfers combustion force to the crankshaft, generating the mechanical energy that drives the alternator and produces electrical output. On a diesel generator like the DCA-85SSM, pistons must maintain a precise fit within the cylinder bore to sustain adequate compression for reliable ignition and consistent power generation. When a piston wears, develops scoring, or cracks, compression drops, oil consumption rises, and the generator may produce unstable voltage or fail to start — making timely piston replacement critical to keeping the unit in service.
