Description
Overview:
The Piston Ring Set (Oversize 30) for Villiers C45 engines is a genuine replacement set designed to restore compression and oil control in vintage single-cylinder petrol engines. Manufactured from hardened cast iron for wear resistance and stable sealing at operating temperature, these rings help maintain cylinder pressure, reduce blow-by, and manage oil on the bore. The "Oversize 30" specification is commonly understood as +0.030 in (approx. +0.76 mm), suited to engines that have been rebored to this size. Supplied as OEM No. C45-030, this set is made for the Villiers C45, a popular engine used across older construction and garden machinery. As unused old stock, cosmetic ageing such as light tarnish or storage marks may be present, without affecting function.
