## ⚙️ Key Features

-   3.55 mm thick
-   21 applications across AQ and BB series engines
-   Thinnest of the 3.55 mm to 4.15 mm graded series
-   Published weights do not track thickness across the series
-   TH=3.55mm (Volvo assembly listing)

## 🔌 Function

Sets a running clearance by a fixed amount, so the correct washer is the one that brings the measured clearance into specification rather than the one that matches the engine.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Tapping or clatter from the valve gear when clearance is too great
-   Clearance measuring outside specification at service
-   Washer scuffed, pitted or worn thin on the contact face
-   Uneven wear pattern showing the washer has not been running square

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Measure first and order on the measured clearance, since the published weights across this series are useless as a guide, with the 4.00 mm washer the lightest at 0.019 kg and the 3.65 mm the heaviest at 0.034 kg
-   Check the cam and follower faces for wear before deciding the washer size
