Description
Overview:
The Piston Ring Set (Oversize 20) for the Villiers C45 engine is a genuine replacement part designed to restore correct sealing and compression in vintage single-cylinder petrol engines. Supplied to OEM specification, the +0.020 in (approx. 0.51 mm) oversize suits rebored cylinders requiring a precise interference fit. The rings help reduce oil consumption, stabilise idle, and improve starting by maintaining a tight gas seal. Made from durable, heat‐resistant materials and finished to fine tolerances, this set is intended for the Villiers C45 used across older machinery in agriculture, horticulture, construction, and light industrial equipment. As unused old stock, items may show age-related tarnish or storage marks, but remain fully serviceable for engine rebuilds where reliability and authenticity matter.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility with the C45 engine
- Oversize 20 specification: +0.020 in (approx. 0.51 mm) for properly rebored bores
- Helps restore compression, power, and fuel efficiency
- Reduces oil blow‐by and visible exhaust smoke
- Precision-ground ring faces for consistent bedding-in
- Durable construction for high heat and load conditions in air‐cooled engines
- Suitable for vintage restorations while keeping original specification
- Unused old stock; may show cosmetic age but functionally sound
Typical Applications:
Used during overhauls of Villiers C45 engines found on older generators, water pumps, cement mixers, rotavators, lawn and garden equipment, small plant, and static industrial drives. Ideal when a rebore has been carried out to +0.020 in (0.51 mm) and fresh rings are needed to regain compression and reduce oil consumption.
