Overview – PLATE, VALVE SPRING WEAR-JP-KC 4007182
Engineered for Cummins hydraulic/fuel valve positions as the valve-spring wear plate, the Cummins PLATE, VALVE SPRING WEAR-JP-KC 4007182 meets the tolerances your equipment was designed around.
Parts Characteristics
A valve-spring wear plate that backs and protects a valve spring in its bore, taking the seat wear that would otherwise score the casting. It is the sacrificial face that keeps the valve seating true, so a correct, flat plate keeps the valve from sinking and leaking.
Applicable Models & Applications
Used at Cummins valve positions specifying this wear plate. Match the bore, the spring seat and the thickness against your old plate – wear plates differ in how they seat and carry load.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect the plate for scoring and dishing at every valve service. A plate that has worn through lets the spring bite the casting, and the casting is the expensive part.
Replace the plate with the valve service, not only when it is through. A plate run past its limit scores the bore, and the score is permanent.
Confirm the plate seats flat and square before reassembly. A plate cocked in its bore loads the spring unevenly and the valve leaks.
Keep the common valve-spring wear plates for your application on the bench. They are cheap insurance for the valve, and they are exactly the part missing when a valve needs seating today.
Price Reference (USD)
The PLATE, VALVE SPRING WEAR-JP-KC 4007182 generally falls in the USD 8-40 bracket, with expedited freight quoted separately.
