Engine Piston ME014693 For MITSUBISHI 4D35 4D35-T Fuso Canter Rosa — Verified

The Engine Piston with OEM number ME014693 is a verified direct-fit replacement for MITSUBISHI 4D35 and 4D35-T (4.6L diesel) engines. This piston is a critical reciprocating component responsible for converting combustion pressure into crankshaft rotation and managing thermal load within the cylinder. The 4D35 is a 4,562 cc water-cooled inline-4 diesel engine with a 110.0 mm bore, widely used in MITSUBISHI Fuso Canter and Rosa models from 1993 through 1999 (and broader applications through the 2000s).

This piston is supplied in standard (STD) 110.00 mm size with an Alfin insert at the ring-land area for ring-groove reinforcement and tin/graphite surface treatment for improved break-in characteristics and scuff resistance.

• Dimensional Verification: Piston diameter 110.00 mm (STD), compression height 59.8 mm, total length 109.50–109.60 mm, pin diameter 36 mm, pin length 88 mm — verified across multiple independent supplier technical sheets for the 4D35 platform.
• Ring Groove Geometry: Ring grooves sized 3.0 mm (top) / 2.5 mm (second) / 4.0 mm (oil control) — matched to OEM 4D35 piston ring specifications.
• Material & Construction: Manufactured from aluminum alloy with an Alfin insert at the ring-land area and tin/graphite coating on the skirt — confirmed by multiple supplier specifications (Tined, Graphite; With Alfin).
• OEM Cross-Reference Verified: Replaces ME014693, ME018825, ME012941, ME012905, ME014898, ME018828. International brand cross-references include TEIKIN 43608A, 43691AGSTD, IZUMI ME014693.
• Multi-Platform Application: Confirmed compatible with MITSUBISHI Fuso Canter and Rosa models equipped with 4D35 / 4D35-T engines, covering the 1993–1999 production range in multiple catalogs.

• Loss of engine compression: Worn or stuck piston rings reduce cranking pressure, causing hard starting and noticeable power loss under load — particularly evident on 4D35-T under turbo boost.
• Excessive exhaust smoke (blue/white/black): Indicates oil passing rings or incomplete combustion — piston and ring replacement often resolves it.
• Increased oil consumption: Glazed bores or tired ring packs allow oil to enter the combustion chamber, raising operating costs on fleet vehicles.
• Piston scoring or scuffing: Visible skirt wear or liner wall scoring caused by thermal stress, insufficient lubrication, or turbo-related heat load — requires immediate replacement to prevent catastrophic failure.
• Knocking or tapping noise: Piston slap or pin/bore wear requires inspection before further engine operation.

Each piston undergoes 100% quality inspection before packaging. Manufacturing conforms to ISO9001 quality management system standards.

• Standard packing: Neutral packaging / corrugated carton; 4 pcs (one engine set) per box; wooden pallet available for bulk orders.
• Set options: Standard (STD 110.00 mm) or oversize — specify at inquiry. Oil Gallery configuration and piston ring set (e.g., ME995214) must be explicitly stated when ordering.
• Minimum order: 4 pcs (one engine set) per order; bulk quantity discounts available.
• Suitable for: Engine rebuild workshops, Fuso fleet maintenance departments, spare parts distributors, and export wholesalers.
• Related parts available: Piston ring set (ME995214 / ME996628), piston pin (36 × 88 mm), circlips, cylinder liner kit (110 mm), and full 4D35 overhaul kit.
