The distance piece K 27753 is an important spacer component used in conjunction with the indicator valve of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It provides the necessary alignment and spacing between the valve and its associated parts, ensuring correct operation during cylinder pressure monitoring. Precision machining guarantees that it withstands the stresses of high-pressure conditions without deformation. This seemingly simple piece is essential for the accurate and safe installation of the indicator valve system.

The valve spindle K 27511 is the hardened, precision-turned stem that transmits motion between the rocker/actuator and the inlet valve head in the Sulzer ZV40/48. Its straightness, surface finish and dimensional tolerance are crucial: the spindle must run true in the valve guide, resist bending under side loads and present a wear-resistant surface for the guide and seal. Made from alloy steel and often surface-hardened or coated, K 27511 directly affects sealing performance and valve timing — scoring, bending or excessive wear on the spindle will degrade combustion efficiency and should trigger guide inspection and component replacement to restore reliable engine operation.

The inner valve spring K 27505 pairs with the outer spring to form a concentric (dual) spring assembly that improves stability and reduces resonance across the valve train of the ZV40/48. The inner spring provides fine control of valve closure at lower deflections while the dual arrangement raises the natural frequency and resists harmonics that can cause chatter or instability. Typically manufactured from high-grade, shot-peened spring steel and precisely ground, K 27505 helps maintain tight valve control under varied loads — replacing both inner and outer springs as a matched set is good practice to preserve timing accuracy and prevent premature failures.

The outer valve spring K 27504 is a heavy-duty, precision-formed coil that works as the primary retaining spring for both inlet and exhaust valves in the Sulzer ZV40/48. Designed to sit outside the inner spring (when fitted as a nested pair), the outer spring takes the brunt of high-load cycles, helps control valve rebound and aids in damping at high engine speeds. Made from fatigue-resistant spring steel and heat-treated for long life, K 27504 is critical for consistent valve seating and timing — inspect for coil relaxation, cracking or loss of free length during overhaul, because worn outer springs lead quickly to valve float, poor combustion and accelerated component wear.
