Does anyone have the part number for this item, or know where it can be purchased. It is used to secure the return oil covers on my 2005 roadster

Thank you

 

Are these for the valve covers on the engine?

 

Yes, they are the smaller covers that allow for oil to cool before it flows back into engine

 

These small covers are the MB version of PCV, Positive Crankcase Ventilation, nothing to do with oil cooling.

 

Thank you for clarifying the function of the assembly and the links. I would like to effect the repair of the seals and have the correct screw.

 

I used the forum member" MikeR " diagram it is has a part name and the torque specs but no part # , or where to purchase the aluminum part, tried to find on MB but no hits using part description, hence the need for a part #.

Thank you.

 

There was a post here a few weeks ago and it said if you asked a certain company they would send you some as free samples.

 

Found part # for m5-.80 x16mm it is 05102924AA

cost is $3.57

Thank you all that responded, hope this will help other CF owners

 

If that is per screw that is very expensive. On the other site you can get 25 for $7.00 plus shipping. About $13.00 for 25 or about 50 cents each.

 

And I'll go in halves, if your willing to fool with it...

 

Is there any problem with using stainless steel instead of aluminum?

 

Not that I know of, I have had SS screws in for about 5 years now and no problems.

 

Should the screws and covers be made wet with a salty solution or any electrolyte you would have a problem. It may not apply to you with the salt nor I as it never sees the winter but for others it may well be a bad idea.
If they were tightened too much the threads in the covers would tear out.
If you want to use stainless screws get ones that are plated.
Play it safe, get aluminum screws.

My 300 has aluminum covers behind the brakes and they were held on with steel screws, the salt attacked the aluminum around the screw head and ate through it leaving aluminum washers under the screw heads, they later went back to steel shields.
Galvanic corrosion is what caused the problem, another fine example of Chrysler engineering that was probably dictated by some ignorant accountant who was paid to save money.

 

TRUE : Should the screws and covers be made wet with a salty solution or any electrolyte you would have a problem. It may not apply to you with the salt nor I as it never sees the winter but for others it may well be a bad idea.

VERY TRUE : If they were tightened too much the threads in the covers would tear out.
