Description
Overview:
The Cylinder Base Gasket is a genuine Jap component for the 4/3 series industrial engine, matched to OEM number 16455. It sits between the cylinder barrel and the engine block/crankcase to maintain a secure, gas- and oil-tight seal. Made from a durable, oil- and heat-resistant gasket material, it helps preserve compression, prevent leaks, and support reliable running. This part is suitable for maintenance and rebuild work on vintage stationary engines used in construction and agricultural settings, including the JAP 4 and JAP4 models. As unused old stock, it may show cosmetic signs of age from storage, but this does not affect functionality when installed correctly on clean, flat mating faces with even fastener torque.
Key Features:
- Genuine Jap part (OEM 16455) for reliable fit and function
- Model-specific geometry with correct stud spacing and port openings
- Oil-, fuel-, and heat-resistant material for lasting seal integrity
- Helps restore and maintain compression to support engine performance
- Reduces risk of oil and gas leaks at the cylinder-to-crankcase joint
- Suitable for routine maintenance and full engine rebuilds
- Compatible with vintage industrial engines often found on site equipment
- Straightforward to fit when surfaces are clean and flat; torque fasteners evenly
- Unused old stock: may have tarnishing or surface marks from storage only
- Supports efficient running and helps prevent avoidable downtime
Typical Applications:
Used during cylinder removal, overhaul, or reassembly on JAP 4/3 series industrial engines. Common on stationary power units driving site mixers, water pumps, compactors, small generators, and agricultural machinery. Ideal for leak prevention after decarbonising, piston/ring work, or crankcase service where a fresh, reliable base seal is required.
