## 🔌 Function

Retains, covers or spaces a component within the propulsion assembly, maintaining the designed clearance or clamping at its joint. Its thickness and flatness set that relationship.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Distortion or bowing, leaving an uneven clamping face
-   Cracking around a fastener hole
-   Corrosion or pitting on the sealing or contact face
-   Fasteners repeatedly loosening
-   Water ingress or leakage at the joint

## 🛠️ 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
