Piston ring
<Preventing Aluminum Adhesion Technology> 
-"New Tough-RIK"
- Thermal resistance and wear resistance were improved thanks to the review of solid lubrication and improvement of binder made from thermal resistance resin.

<Surface Treatment Technology>
-DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) / Amorphous Carbon

application	material for cylinder	Features
periphery	cast iron	less friction + better fuel consumption
	aluminum	preventing aluminum adhesion and scuffing + wear resistance + less friction
lateral	-	measure to abrasion of groove in the piston (preventing aluminum adhesion)

Engine parts
Deformed Hollow Tilt Camshafts
- Making shaft hole at the core along cam profile achieved weight reduction and less machining cost. Possible to make a hole of the oil-through-bore at one time. 

Valve Lifter
- A combination of bonding techniques and downsizing allowed to reduce weight and to minimize engine size. A barrel shaped type reduced sound at the time of engine revolution and achieved to enhance the quietness. At the same time, less friction was achieved. 

Aluminum Alloy Retainer
- Resistant to abrasion and achievement of weight reduction

Processed material parts
Double Wishbone Type Steering Knuckles
- Cost reduction by near-net-shape treatment of complex dimension. Reduced the 
   back-end process as well as realizing the easier-cutting. The unified component  reduced 
   its weight.

Strut Type Knuckles
- The unified casting part of complex dimension.

Lower Control Arm
   -Deletion of forged product and stamped product
