Description
Overview:
This Split Pin for the Valve Chest Retainer Ball is a genuine Villiers component for the F15 engine (OEM No. 16347/1). Made from durable metal, typically steel, it secures the retainer ball in the valve chest so the engine runs reliably. Correct retention at this point helps maintain valve timing stability and prevents unwanted movement during operation. Suitable for maintenance and restoration of Villiers F15 engines used in vintage machinery, this is unused old stock and may show light tarnishing from storage, which does not affect function. It is a straightforward service item that replaces like-for-like with the original factory part, supporting an authentic rebuild while keeping the engine's internal hardware to specification. A practical choice for tradespeople, DIY users, and collectors working on Villiers F15 engines.

Typical Applications:
