Description
Overview:
This valve spring retainer is a non-genuine replacement for Yanmar small diesel engines, designed to secure the valve spring on the valve stem and keep correct valve tension during operation. Precision-machined steel construction provides dependable strength under heat and vibration, supporting reliable compression and timing. It is suitable for Yanmar L40 and L48 series engines and associated variants used across compact plant and machinery. The part replaces OEM reference 114250-11180 and corresponds to Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) 320 343. Use it during head rebuilds or valve train maintenance to restore proper spring seating and reduce wear on associated components. Non Genuine Part, built for easy, direct replacement with standard workshop tools on well-maintained engines.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement engineered to substitute OEM 114250-11180 for cost-effective maintenance
- Compatible with Yanmar L40 and L48 series for a straightforward, accurate fit
- Robust steel body resists fatigue, heat, and vibration in long-duty operation
- Smooth seating surface helps keep the spring aligned and reduces component wear
- Stable geometry maintains correct spring height and tension for reliable valve timing
- Drop-in format; no machining required when replacing like-for-like parts
- Suitable for routine overhauls and corrective repairs using standard valve spring tools
Typical Applications:
Used when servicing the cylinder head or valve gear on Yanmar single-cylinder diesel engines found in generators, water pumps, plate compactors, tillers, and other small plant.
