23949026 Valve Bridge | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta valve bridge from the Engine group, weighing 0.187 kg. No engine applications are recorded against it, so match the number to your engine's own parts list before ordering.

⚙️ Key Features

• Engine group component
• 0.187 kg
• No recorded engine applications, so order by part number

🔌 Function

Spans a pair of valves so that one rocker arm opens both together, sharing the load evenly between them and keeping their lift equal.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Ticking or tapping from the top of the engine that does not clear as the engine warms
• Valve clearances that will not hold their setting between services
• Wear cup or pad on the underside of the bridge dished, pitted or bright
• Bridge rocking or cocking on its guide rather than sitting square across both valve stems
• Bore of the bridge worn so it has visible side play on its guide pin

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the guide pin and the valve stem tips for matching wear before condemning the bridge, since all three wear as a set
• Reset the valve clearances after fitting and recheck them once the engine has run and cooled
• Renew bridges in pairs or as a set where more than one shows wear, so the valve gear stays evenly loaded
