# 21883696 Hexagon Screw | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta v8 timing-housing screw is specified for the GM Gen IV V8 engine assembly. The thread, length, strength class and installed position must match the original fastener.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Year Range:** approximately 2012-2016

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Timing-housing screw for the GM Gen IV V8 assembly
-   Thread, length, strength class and installed position must match the original fastener

## 🔌 Function

Clamps the timing housing to the engine at the designed load, holding the sealing face tight so the joint stays oil-tight under vibration.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil weeping along the timing-housing joint
-   Screw found finger-slack at a service
-   Head drive rounded out on removal
-   Thread galled, stretched or picked up
-   Screw seized or corroded into the block

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the length, thread and strength grade of the replacement against the screw you removed — engine fasteners are chosen for a specific clamp load, and a longer or softer screw is not a substitute
-   Clean the threads in the component and make sure the mating faces are clean and flat before assembly; dirt, paint or old sealant in a joint feels like tightness and leaves the joint loose
-   Tighten to the torque figure and the tightening sequence given in the workshop manual for your engine, working up progressively rather than pulling each screw down in one go
-   Use thread locking or sealing compound only where the manual calls for it, and renew the locking washer, tab washer or nut that works with the screw
-   Renew rather than reuse screws that are corroded, thread-damaged or visibly stretched, and any screw the manual tightens by torque-plus-angle
