🔌 Function

Grips the groove in the valve stem in a tapered pair, locking the spring cap to the valve so the spring can close it.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Sharp ticking or a sudden change in valve gear noise
• A valve that has dropped or lost its clearance
• Grooves in the cotter faces worn or spread
• Bright fretting where the cotter meets the cap
• Cotter found loose in the cap after removal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Cotters come as a matched pair per valve, so work out the quantity from the number of valves being disturbed
• Renew them with cap 3855816 rather than reusing parts that have already bedded together
• Make sure both halves are fully seated before releasing the spring compressor
