1696449 Cover Plate | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta cover plate is a Z-cam adjuster protective cover used in the Z-cam brake-adjuster cover plate. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. In service, it closes and protects the Z-cam brake-adjuster mechanism while retaining lubricant and excluding road contamination. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1696449, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

🔌 Function

Closes and protects the Z-cam brake-adjuster mechanism while retaining lubricant and excluding road contamination. Clean the housing face, fit gasket 1696450 and tighten the cover evenly without distortion.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Water, dirt or corrosion inside the brake adjuster
• Grease leakage around the cover
• Cover cracked, distorted or loose
• Damaged mounting holes or sealing face
• Adjuster binding after contamination entry

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean both faces and remove all of the old gasket or sealant before refitting; a cover plate only seals if it sits flat on a clean face
• Check the plate for distortion around the fixing holes and renew it if the flange has been pulled out of shape
• Fit a new gasket, seal or O-ring rather than reusing the old one, and use sealant only where the manual for your engine calls for it
• Tighten evenly and progressively to the figures in the workshop manual — these covers are thin and easily bowed by pulling one fixing up first
• Check for weeps once the engine has been run up to temperature and allowed to cool
