• Position on Vehicle: Engine cylinder head, at the valve adjusting screw area - used to lock the adjuster once clearance is set.

•  Function: Locks the valve-adjusting screw in place, ensures the correct clearance remains unchanged under engine operation, prevents loosening of adjuster and ensures valvetrain reliability.

•  Specification:  M8 × 1 thread, correct height and socket size, treated or coated for durability - direct-fit replacement of Porsche part number 99903400500.

•  Applications: Ideal when your original nut is damaged, the adjuster is loose, you are doing a valve-clearance service, or you require reliable hardware for engine rebuilds.

While small, this locking nut performs a vital role: without it, the adjuster can drift, valve clearance can open up or close down, leading to noisy operation, performance loss, premature wear or even engine damage. Symptoms of a failing/incorrect nut include adjusting screw backing out, noisy valvetrain, incorrect clearance and poor idle or performance.

When to replace:
• The adjuster locking nut is missing, corroded, rounded or damaged.
• After valve-clearance adjustment and you want guaranteed lock-in of the setting.
• During engine rebuild or cylinder-head service when valvetrain hardware is exposed.
• To replace the original with fresh hardware to maintain service integrity and reliability.
