The sleeve K 27406 is a precision-fit bushing designed to support spindle K 27401 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 starting/valve assembly. Acting as a replaceable wear surface, the sleeve maintains correct radial clearance, reduces friction and prevents direct metal-to-metal contact between spindle and housing. Made from a wear- and corrosion-resistant material, it simplifies repairs (the sleeve is cheaper to replace than the housing) and helps preserve alignment and smooth operation — inspect for scoring or ovality during routine maintenance to avoid sticky or misaligned spindles.

The cover-for-cover (K 16505) is a secondary protective element that sits over the primary damper-end cover (K 16501), offering an extra barrier against impact, spray and environmental exposure. Often used where splash, debris or mechanical contact are likely, this outer cap increases overall assembly durability and simplifies field servicing by protecting the primary seal and fastenings. In short, K 16505 is a low-profile but effective armor layer that helps keep the damper assembly functioning cleanly and reliably over long operational cycles.

The cover for the damper end (K 16501) is a protective closure that shields the damper’s working face and mounting from contaminants, moisture and mechanical damage on the Sulzer ZV40/48. By keeping dirt and corrosive salts away from the damping surfaces and bearings, the cover preserves damping efficiency and extends component life. Its design also provides a secure sealing surface and mounting interface, making inspections and replacement straightforward while supporting reliable vibration control in demanding marine service.

The leak pipe (K 70006) fitted to the fuel transfer pump K 74100 on the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 serves as a safety and housekeeping feature: it routes seepage, drips and relief flow away from the pump housing to a safe collection or return point, preventing fuel accumulation around hot or rotating parts. Built and routed to resist vibration and corrosion, the pipe helps operators detect leaks early, simplifies containment during service, and reduces fire and contamination risk — a small part that materially improves system safety and maintainability.

The complete oil pump K 71001 is a critical subsystem of the Sulzer ZV40/48, supplying pressurized lubrication to bearings, camshafts and other moving parts. The unit typically includes the housing, impeller(s), drive shaft, bearings and seals, and is engineered for steady flow, low cavitation and long service intervals under heavy marine duty. Regular inspection of clearances, seals (like K 70016) and mounting integrity, plus using the correct oil grade, keeps the pump delivering reliable lubrication — the foundation of engine life and performance.

The multi-use O-ring K 70017 is specified to seal interfaces on several ZV40/48 components — typically the cooling/raw water pump (K 73100), a related assembly K 73000, and the fuel transfer pump K 74100. Built to resist both oil and seawater exposure as well as thermal cycling, this O-ring keeps diverse fluid circuits leak-free and preserves pressure integrity across systems. Because it services different assemblies, stocking this part simplifies logistics and helps technicians rapidly restore tight seals during troubleshooting or overhaul.

The O-ring K 70016 is a small but essential sealing element used with the oil pump K 71001 on the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Designed from heat- and oil-resistant elastomer, it prevents oil leakage at the pump joints and maintains system pressure under continuous operation. Although inexpensive, this O-ring plays an outsize role in avoiding contamination and preserving lubrication integrity — a quick visual check and timely replacement during scheduled maintenance will prevent costly oil loss and downstream damage.

The standalone impeller with code K 71029 is the heart of the Sulzer ZV40/48 oil pump, converting rotational motion into fluid movement. Its carefully profiled vanes generate the necessary flow rate and pressure to circulate oil through engine bearings and galleries. Forged from wear-resistant alloy, the impeller endures high centrifugal forces and abrasive particulates in the oil. Monitoring impeller condition and clearances helps maintain efficient lubrication and prevents cavitation or performance loss over time.

The integrated impeller and drive shaft unit bearing code K 71028 combines the rotating vane assembly and its driving connection into a single, precisely machined component. In the Sulzer ZV40/48’s oil pump, this design reduces alignment errors between shaft and vanes, ensuring smooth oil flow and consistent pressure build-up. Manufactured from hardened steel for high strength and wear resistance, the unit withstands the dynamic loads and high speeds of continuous engine operation, contributing directly to optimal lubrication performance.

The complete bearing cover assembly coded K 71022 safeguards the oil pump’s rotating elements by encasing the bearing in a sealed housing. In the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, this cover ensures precise lubrication of the bearing and prevents contamination from entering the pump internals. Made from robust, corrosion-resistant materials, it maintains alignment and protects the bearing under continuous operation and thermal cycling. Regular inspection of the cover and its seals is vital to prevent oil loss and ensure the pump’s long-term reliability.
