The piston with code K 27404 is an integral part of the starting valve mechanism in the ZV40/48 engine. It plays a central role in regulating the airflow during the start-up sequence, moving within the valve body to open or close the passage for compressed air. This piston must be machined with exact tolerances to ensure airtight operation and swift response under pressure. Its condition significantly influences the performance of the entire starting system, and regular inspection is critical to prevent starting failures.
