# 1556167 Valve Yoke | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta valve yoke is a precision valve-train service component used in the rocker shaft and valve mechanism. It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the valve train retains its specified geometry, clearance and load path. In service, it bridges paired valve stems so rocker movement is applied evenly across both valves. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1556167 against the installed assembly before ordering.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** TWD, TID, TD, TAMD, TAD

## 🔌 Function

The valve yoke, also called a crosshead, spreads the force from a single rocker arm across two valve stems so both valves in the pair open and close together. It keeps valve movement square and evenly loaded, protecting the valve stems and guides from side loading.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Noisy valve train or a distinct tapping from the rocker cover area
-   Uneven or drifting valve clearances on the affected cylinder
-   Visible wear, scoring or pitting on the yoke contact faces or valve stem pads
-   Yoke tilting or binding on its guide pin, causing one valve to open further than the other
-   Loss of compression, rough running or poor performance on the affected cylinder

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Keep each yoke with its own cylinder and its own way round, noting the orientation before removal — they bed to the valves they have been working on
-   Inspect the contact pads, the bore or guide and the adjusting screw and locknut for wear, cupping or scoring; a worn yoke loads one valve harder than the other
-   Check the guide or pin the yoke runs on and make sure the yoke slides freely on it with no slop
-   Set the yoke so it bears squarely and equally on both valves, then set the valve clearance itself, both exactly to the procedure in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Oil the contact faces and guide on assembly and turn the engine over by hand to confirm everything moves cleanly before it is run
