Description
Overview:
The Bearing Plate Gasket (flywheel side) is a Genuine JAP part for vintage industrial engines, engineered to seal the bearing plate to the crankcase and prevent oil and air leaks. Made from oil-resistant gasket fibre/paper, it helps maintain crankcase pressure and protects against contamination, supporting smooth running and consistent performance. Built to the original profile and hole pattern, it offers a precise fit on JAP 5 and JAP 6 engines. This OEM 12841 gasket is suitable for routine servicing or full rebuilds where a clean, reliable seal is required. It is a straightforward replacement for worn or brittle originals often found on older plant, workshop, and agricultural machinery powered by JAP units.
