AGCO - F716201410060 - Valve Lever Screw Fendt

This valve lever screw secures the rocker arm pivot to the valve lever within the engine cylinder head. It acts as the threaded stop that sets the clearance between the valve stem and the rocker arm tip, controlling valve timing and seating. A worn or incorrectly torqued screw allows lash to drift, leading to reduced compression, valve chatter, or eventual valve-to-piston contact. The original part is machined to the same thread pitch and shoulder geometry as the production assembly, so it maintains the specified adjustment range without requiring shims or adapters. On reinstallation, clean the threads and apply thread-locking compound to the specified torque value.
