Short Description: Ensure your engine's valve train operates with absolute precision. This high-quality rocker washer is essential for maintaining correct valve timing and protecting your cylinder head from premature wear.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: MT801538
• Part Type: Engine / Valve Timing Gear

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The Rocker Washer is a fundamental component of the Dnepr MT-11's overhead valve (OHV) mechanism. Located within the valve timing gear, these washers sit between the rocker arms and the cylinder head brackets. Their primary role is to provide a stable, flat bearing surface for the rocker arms, ensuring they pivot on a precise axis without shifting. This stability is critical because the MT-11 requires a very tight rocker-to-valve clearance of exactly 0.07 mm on a cold engine; any instability or deformation in the washer can lead to inconsistent valve opening or "rocker knock." Furthermore, the washer protects the aluminum alloy of the cylinder head from being marred by the high tightening torque (2.2 – 2.4 kgf·m) required to secure the rocker nuts. Signs that it is time to replace these washers include excessive noise in the valve gear or an inability to maintain the specified valve clearance during routine adjustments.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact Technical Fit: Manufactured to meet the original factory specifications of the Dnepr MT-11, ensuring a perfect seat against the cylinder head.
• Optimized Engine Performance: By maintaining a stable rocker pivot, you ensure consistent valve timing and efficient air-fuel mixture intake, restoring lost engine power.
• Increased Component Longevity: Prevents direct metal-on-metal friction between the rocker assembly and the head brackets, significantly extending the life of your cylinder head.
