Professional Questions & Answers
Where is circlip VOE21713976 typically used in a Volvo D8K engine?
Circlip VOE21713976 is often used internally within the Volvo D8K engine. Common applications include securing the piston pin (wrist pin) within the piston, or retaining bearings, gears, or other components on various shafts within the engine assembly. Its exact location depends on the specific engine design variant and component it secures.
Is VOE21713976 a critical component for engine safety and performance?
Yes, circlips like VOE21713976 are critical components. Although small, their failure can lead to significant engine damage. For example, if a piston pin circlip fails, the pin can move laterally and score or damage the cylinder wall, potentially causing catastrophic engine failure. Using the correct, high-quality circlip is vital for safe and reliable engine operation.
Can I reuse the old circlip VOE21713976 during engine repair?
It is strongly recommended NOT to reuse circlips, especially critical engine circlips like VOE21713976. Circlips are typically designed for single use. During removal, they can be stretched or stressed beyond their elastic limit, compromising their retaining force and increasing the risk of failure upon reinstallation. Always use a new circlip during assembly or repair for maximum safety and reliability.
