This screw, specifically for the crankcase, primarily holds components securely together. It creates clamping force, meaning it squeezes things tightly. It might fasten a cover plate, a sensor, or even hold parts of the crankcase itself together. Different sizes and types will have slightly different functions, but that’s the core idea. Think of the crankcase as the engine’s foundation. It’s where a lot of the heavy lifting happens, and it needs to be completely sealed and structurally sound. This screw plays a part in maintaining that integrity. It's not a glamorous role, but without it, things could vibrate loose, leak fluids, or even cause bigger mechanical failures. If one of these screws goes missing or gets damaged, it’s a problem. It might start as a small rattle or a minor oil leak, but it can escalate quickly. The screw acts like a shield, preventing things from working their way loose over time with all the engine’s movement and heat. You’ll notice if one is gone or broken, usually by a change in engine noise, a warning light, or potentially a fluid leak. Don't ignore it. A small, inexpensive screw can save you a lot of money and headache down the road. You can find these pretty easily – we often stock a range at Fixparts Online, and getting the right one is key. It's all about making sure everything stays put and sealed up tight. Your satisfaction is our mission: Screw (MPN N90498002) includes a 12-month warranty!
