## 🔌 Function

-   Scoring or wear
-   Loose mounting fasteners
-   Metal particles in the timing casing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Compare the new plate with the one you take off for thickness, hole pattern and orientation before fitting; many plates will bolt up more than one way but only one is right
-   Clean both mating faces and remove all old gasket or sealant residue without scoring the metal
-   Renew any gasket, seal or O-ring disturbed while the plate is off rather than reusing it
-   Draw the fasteners down evenly, in stages and in the sequence and to the figures given in the workshop manual for your engine
