5100850160 Specification
About 5100850160 - Piston Ring
Published catalog details are identification references. They do not establish current stock, supplied condition, or confirmed fitment for your engine.
5100850160 is a piston ring catalogued for MTU 183 engines. The catalog unit weight is 0.001 kg, which we use to estimate freight before quoting.
Technical Notes: Pistons and liners
Pistons, rings, and wet cylinder liners form the combustion chamber and carry the highest thermal loads in the engine. They are usually replaced during a major overhaul, and liner protrusion and size grades have to be checked so the cylinder head seals correctly.
When This Type of Part Is Usually Replaced
- oil consumption or blow-by rises beyond the expected level
- borescope inspection shows liner scoring, bore polishing, or ring damage
- liner cavitation is found on the coolant side
Checks Before Ordering
- Order liners with their sealing rings, and pistons with complete ring sets
- Size grades and weight classes must be matched within one engine
- Measurements from the inspection record decide which grade to order

Engine-series references do not confirm every installation. Final fitment of 5100850160 depends on the full engine serial number and assembly position.
Usually Ordered with Piston Ring
Ring sets are replaced complete and checked against liner wear. These MTU 183 references are commonly checked in the same job; each still needs its own fitment check.
Cross-Reference and Superseded Part Numbers
Catalog history distinguishes earlier and later numbers where documented. Reference-only entries do not establish replacement direction or interchangeability. Confirm the offered number against the engine serial number and installation.
