In this paper a finite element analysis is carried out on the mechanical element called the piston liner; The main objective of the analysis is to know the advantages of increasing the number of fins in said mechanical element. For the piston to have greater durability and to function optimally, it is necessary to make certain adjustments to the cooling system, hence the fact of making modifications or improvements within the piston liner. Models of the piston liner were made, which were considered the most suitable to be subjected to simulations. Various simulations were carried out, which helped to conclude that the more fins there are, the better the piston performance. Basically, an analysis was made between the 16-fin liner and another analysis with the 19-fin liner, the results were as expected, the 19-fin liner gives us a more favorable cooling time for the piston
