Description
Overview:
This Genuine Kawasaki tappet (OEM No. 120327001) is a precision valve-train component for Kawasaki 4‐stroke engines. Manufactured from hardened, precision‐ground steel, it transfers the camshaft lift smoothly to the pushrod and valves, keeping valve timing accurate and reducing wear. The solid cylindrical design with a finely finished contact face helps maintain correct clearances for quiet, efficient running. Ideal for turf and garden machinery such as lawn tractors and professional mowers, it is a direct replacement in many Kawasaki V‐twin engines, including FH381V and FH430V. Built to Kawasaki's specifications for durability and dimensional accuracy, this genuine part supports reliable performance and long service life in demanding commercial and domestic use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kawasaki OEM part (120327001) for assured compatibility and fit
- Hardened steel construction for excellent wear resistance and longevity
- Precision‐ground contact surfaces for smooth operation and reduced noise
- Maintains correct valve lash and timing for consistent engine performance
- Direct replacement design for straightforward installation and minimal downtime
- Stable under high temperatures; suitable for regular engine oil lubrication
- Helps protect cam lobes and pushrods by providing a true, flat bearing surface
- Supports smooth starting, steady idle, and efficient running across service intervals
Typical Applications:
Used in ride‐on mowers, zero‐turn mowers, garden tractors, and professional turf equipment powered by Kawasaki FH, FS, FT, FR, and FX series engines. Suitable for both commercial grounds maintenance and domestic lawn care where reliable valve timing and long service life are important.
Also known as:
Valve lifter, cam follower, cam lifter, valve follower, pushrod lifter, engine lifter. These terms describe the same solid tappet component that transmits camshaft motion to the valve train in overhead‐valve small engines.
