Details
This kit converts C15 ACERT Engines from 18.2:1 down to 16:1 Compression Ratio. This kit can be used by customers looking to convert from a twin turbo setup to a single turbo, as well as those who would like to run twin turbo with a lower compression piston. Our customers are successfully installing this kit in both types of applications. In either situation, use of this piston in an ACERT engine will require custom ECM tuning. The piston included is part number 3466615 and is identical to the OEM welded steel, single piece design. Kit is packed with 0.001" oversized liners in order to accommodate thermal expansion due to increased temperature associated with high horsepower applications. There is no warranty offered on this rebuild kit, as it is designed for custom applications where factory settings are to be altered and air / fuel ratio changed. Parts Included in Inframe Rebuild Kit (6) Liner Kits (Sleeve/Liner, Piston, Rings, Wrist Pin, Liner O-Rings) Note: This kit only ships with upgraded Crevice Seal liners (6) Rod Bearings (1) Main Bearing Set (1) Inframe Gasket Set (This gasket set includes Injector Tube Seals, but not Injector O-Rings) Watch an informational video on the IPD crevice seal liners. |

Our Guarantee
All parts are guaranteed to be in the condition stated at the time of sale and free from misrepresentation. If something isn’t right, we’ll work with you to resolve it — including returns, exchanges, or refunds when appropriate.
- We sell parts — we don’t make them — but we stand behind what we sell.
- Guaranteed to match the description or your money back.
- Manufacturer’s warranty applies where available; we’ll help if you ever need it.
Used Parts — What to Expect
Used parts are cleaned, inspected, and guaranteed to be usable, but please note:
- They often have signs of wear, surface rust, blemishes, or cosmetic imperfections.
- They may include old gaskets or residue and likely require further cleaning or machining before installation.
- They are not refurbished, remanufactured, or restored to like-new appearance.
We recommend careful inspection and strongly encourage installation by a qualified heavy-duty diesel mechanic.
- Worn, not worn out — used parts may show signs of age but are fit for service.
- All used parts are tested for usability, not appearance.
