Description
Overview:
This tappet is a Genuine Villiers Part for the Villiers Model 4/44 Industrial Engine, supplied to OEM specification under part number 14994/1. A tappet (valve lifter) sits between the cam and the valve train to transmit camshaft motion accurately, helping to maintain correct valve timing, smooth running, and consistent compression. Made from durable, machined metal (steel), it is built to resist wear in demanding industrial use. Suitable for routine maintenance, overhauls, and restorations of Villiers 4/44 engines found in small plant, pumps, generators, and other equipment. This is unused old stock from vintage supply, so minor tarnishing or storage marks may be present, but it remains a genuine, unfitted component ready for service once installed and clearances are set to your engine's specification.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers Part for assured compatibility and quality control (OEM No. 14994/1)
- Precise geometry for accurate valve lift and timing on Villiers Model 4/44
- Machined steel construction for strength and wear resistance
- Direct replacement component for straightforward fitting with no modifications
- Helps restore smooth idle, performance, and reliability in industrial duty
- Suitable for rebuilds, preventative maintenance, and vintage restorations
- Unused old stock: may show cosmetic tarnish from storage, not use
- Built to work with the original lubrication and operating clearances of the engine
Typical Applications:
Used during engine rebuilds, top-end services, or repairs when addressing noisy valve gear, poor compression, or erratic running on Villiers 4/44 engines. Common in small industrial machinery such as site equipment, pumps, welders, compressors, and generators where consistent valve operation is critical for reliable starting, smooth operation, and long service intervals.
Also known as:
Valve lifter, cam follower, valve follower, engine lifter. These terms describe the same component that transfers camshaft motion to the valve train to open and close the valves with correct timing and lift.
