Description
Overview:
This Genuine JAP piston with rings is a direct replacement for the JAP Model 34 engine. It is an oversize +0.020 inch piston (approx. 0.51 mm), intended for cylinders that have been re-bored to suit. Made from a robust machined aluminium alloy for good heat transfer and low reciprocating mass, it comes with correctly matched piston rings to restore compression and sealing. Supplied as piston with rings only, it is ideal for engine overhauls and restorations where the original bore has wear, scoring, or ovality. OEM reference is SSA14/020. Common uses for the Model 34 include vintage stationary engines powering compactors, generators, pumps, and garden or light construction machinery, where reliable starting and stable running are essential.
Key Features:
- Genuine JAP Part for correct fit and specification (OEM No. SSA14/020)
- Oversize +0.020 inch (approx. 0.51 mm) to suit re-bored cylinders and recover correct clearances
- Machined aluminium alloy piston for strength, durability, and efficient heat dissipation
- Matched ring set to improve compression, reduce blow-by, and help control oil consumption
- Helps restore power, starting, and fuel efficiency on worn engines
- Supplied as piston with rings only; ancillary items such as gudgeon pin and circlips are not included
- Suitable for vintage engine rebuilds; unused old stock may show cosmetic ageing from storage
- Designed for JAP Model 34 applications commonly found in small plant and garden machinery
- Straightforward for experienced mechanics: measure bore, check piston-to-bore and ring end gaps, and follow standard rebuild practices
Typical Applications:
Used during a JAP Model 34 engine rebuild after reboring to +0.020 inch (approx. 0.51 mm). Typical equipment includes plate compactors, small generators, water pumps, and vintage horticultural or agricultural machinery. Suitable where low compression, smoking, or poor starting indicate excessive bore and ring wear.
