Description
Overview:
The Plug for Crankcase fitted to Petter PJ3/PJ4 Diesel Engines is a genuine Lister Petter metal plug that seals the crankcase opening to prevent oil leaks and pressure loss. Built from durable metal, it is suitable for heavy-duty use in stationary and mobile diesel applications using Petter PJ3 or PJ4 engines.
