Description
Overview:
This piston circlip is a non-genuine replacement for Yanmar small diesel engines and is used to retain the piston pin securely within the piston. Made from hardened spring steel with a resilient finish, it is designed to cope with heat, vibration and repeated load cycles found in compact machinery. Sized for 21 mm (0.83 in) piston pins, it suits Yanmar L60AE and L70AE engines and equivalent applications. The round-wire profile locates in the piston groove to prevent pin movement, helping maintain correct alignment of the connecting rod and protecting the cylinder bore. A practical choice for routine servicing or full rebuilds, it offers a cost-effective alternative to the OEM part while supporting reliable engine performance. MPN: 320 199. Replaces OEM No. 22252-000210.
Key Features:
- Sized to fit 21 mm (0.83 in) piston pins used on Yanmar L60AE/L70AE engines
- Hardened spring steel construction for strength, elasticity and long service life
- Reliable retention under heat, vibration and continuous duty cycles
- Accurate wire diameter and form for a secure seat in the piston groove
- Smooth wire ends to aid fitting and reduce risk of groove damage
- Non-genuine part offering a cost-effective maintenance option while remaining compatible with OEM specifications
- Straightforward installation with suitable pliers or a circlip tool
- Helps prevent piston pin "walk" and associated wear to the cylinder and piston
Typical Applications:
Used during piston and connecting rod service, engine rebuilds, and preventative maintenance on small single-cylinder diesel equipment powered by Yanmar engines, such as plate compactors, generators, water pumps and light plant. Recommended whenever a piston pin is removed; best practice is to renew both circlips on reassembly.
