Description
Overview:
This Exhaust Valve for Villiers MK40 Engines (M855) is a genuine Villiers OEM component designed to restore and maintain correct exhaust sealing and flow in MK40 petrol engines used across light construction and garden machinery. Manufactured from heat‐resistant steel with a hardened stem and a precision‐ground valve face, it resists high temperatures and wear in the exhaust port. The valve helps maintain stable compression, smooth running, and overall engine longevity. Supplied as unused vintage stock, it may show cosmetic tarnishing from storage, which does not affect performance. This direct replacement is intended for straightforward fitting during routine servicing or full top‐end rebuilds, supporting reliable operation without modification when paired with a serviceable seat and guides. Genuine Part for assured compatibility and fit.

Typical Applications:
Used during engine services and rebuilds on Villiers MK40-powered equipment such as compact construction plant (e.g. mixers, generators, pumps) and garden machinery (e.g. mowers, tillers, rotavators).
