366 applications across the V series - Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly 32 ## 🔌 Function Grips the groove in the valve stem in a tapered pair, locking the spring cap to the valve so the spring can close it. ## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure - Sharp ticking or a sudden change in valve gear noise - A valve that has dropped or lost its clearance - Grooves in the cotter faces worn or spread - Bright fretting where the cotter meets the cap - Cotter found loose in the cap after removal ## 🛠️ Service Notes - Cotters come as a matched pair per valve, so work out the quantity from the number of valves being disturbed - Renew them with cap 3855816 rather than reusing parts that have already bedded together - Make sure both halves are fully seated before releasing the spring compressor ## 🔄 Supersession & Cross Reference ### OEM Supersession Chain - 3855823 → Supersedes 3853131 → Supersedes 835401 → Supersedes 835105 ### OEM / Related Numbers -
