-   0.104 kg
-   53 applications across six engine series
-   Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly 8

## 🔌 Function

Transfers the cam follower's motion up to the rocker arm, so the camshaft below can operate the valve above.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Tapping or clattering from the valve gear
-   Valve clearances drifting out of specification
-   Push rod bent so it will not roll flat on a straight surface
-   Ball ends worn, pitted or scuffed
-   Rod jumped out of its seat after a valve has stuck

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Roll each rod on a flat surface to check for straightness and inspect both ball ends before reusing
-   Check the follower and the rocker socket for matching wear, and reset valve clearances after fitting
-   Retainer 838619 and washer 838639 share the same 53 application listing and belong to the same area of the engine
