Description
Overview:
The Valve Spring Collar (Inlet) for Villiers 444H engines is a small but critical valve-train component. Made from durable, heat‐resistant steel, it sits at the top of the inlet valve spring to keep the spring correctly located under load, helping maintain consistent valve lift, timing, and compression. This Genuine Villiers part (OEM ref. 21620/3) is a direct replacement for the original collar used on the 444H, ensuring the correct fit and geometry without modification. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light tarnish or storage marks, but remains fully serviceable. Ideal for owners and repairers maintaining classic Villiers-powered equipment, it supports smooth running, easier starting, and reliable performance after head overhauls or routine maintenance.
Key Features:
- Genuine Part: authentic Villiers component for assured compatibility and quality
- OEM reference 21620/3 for precise fit on the 444H inlet side

- Suitable for preventative maintenance and full engine rebuilds
Typical Applications:

Ideal when replacing worn or missing hardware, addressing valve noise, or correcting weak spring seating to improve reliability and performance in everyday and professional use.
