## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.070 kg
-   From the Engine group
-   Listed for 22 applications
-   Matches valve 3857879 and push rod 3857899

## 🔌 Function

Closes the valve and holds it hard against its seat, keeping the valve gear in contact with the cam so the valve follows the cam profile instead of bouncing.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Valve gear noisy or clattering at higher revs
-   Power falling away at the top end as valves float
-   Spring broken, usually near one end
-   Coils rusted, pitted or rubbing bright against each other
-   Spring visibly shorter than its neighbours when laid side by side

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew springs as a set rather than singly, so all the valves close with the same load
-   Compare free lengths across the head before deciding one spring has settled
