'Under a direct supply arrangement with Honda, various components of the engines are sourced. These items include camshaft followers, and the bendix gear in the starter motor. The ignition coils are also sourced from Honda, but are modified by Jabiru for their own particular application.'

 

Conrods are machined from 4130 alloy steel but the pistons could be Honda, but I'm not sure.

'Pistons are General Motors aftermarket made in Australia and are re-machined to include a piston pin circlip groove. They are fitted with 3 rings, the top rings being cast iron to complement the chrome molybdenum cylinder bores. Valves are 7mm (stem dia) which are purpose manufactured for the Jabiru engine in England.'
