## ⚙️ Key Features

-   18 grams
-   Consolidates 3852688 and 856400
-   One old number was listed as a valve cover screw
-   244 applications across the V series
-   Also supersedes Volvo part number 856073

## 🔌 Function

Clamps the cover to its mounting face at a controlled tension, squeezing the gasket enough to seal without crushing it.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil weeping from the cover joint
-   Bolt found loose after a few hours running
-   Thread stripped in the head or the cover
-   Sealing washer or grommet under the head hardened
-   Cover distorted around an overtightened bolt

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Bolt 3856136 in the Cooling System group has the identical published weight of 18 grams, so weight cannot separate the two and the order must go by number and group
-   Cover bolts want the specified low torque rather than a hard pull, since overtightening distorts the flange and causes the very leak being chased
-   Renew gasket kit 3856138 while the cover is off
