Description
Overview:
The Valve Spring Collar (MPN 12855) is a genuine Jap component designed for the valve train of Jap Model 5 and Model 6 industrial engines. Made from durable steel, it locates the top of the valve spring and maintains the correct tension and alignment, helping to keep valve timing stable and engine performance consistent. This collar is suitable for stationary and small plant engines commonly found in construction and horticultural machinery. As unused old stock, it is a vintage Genuine Part that may show minor tarnish or cosmetic marks from storage, which do not affect function. It is a practical replacement during servicing or a rebuild, restoring reliable valve spring seating and preventing uneven wear on valves, guides, and seats in JAP engines.
