Description
Overview:
These Crankcase/Tappet Bushes are genuine Jap parts for the JAP 5 industrial engine, supplied under OEM number 18610. Precision-machined from durable metal, typically a bronze alloy for low friction and wear resistance, they support and guide moving components within the crankcase and tappet train to keep clearances correct and motion smooth. Correctly installed, they help maintain alignment, reduce vibration and noise, and extend the service life of mating parts. Suitable for maintenance and restoration of JAP 5 and JAP5 engines used in plant and agricultural machinery. As unused old stock vintage items, minor tarnishing or age-related marks may be present, but performance remains unaffected when fitted to specification.

- Precision-machined bushings to restore correct running clearances
