Bentley ASE46591300000

The ring spanner insert af 16 (SKU: be-ase46591300000) is engineered for precision torque applications in Maserati’s high-performance engines. Designed to meet the exacting standards of Italian automotive craftsmanship, this component ensures secure fastening of critical engine assemblies. About the ring spanner insert af 16 This hardened steel insert interfaces with specialized fasteners in Maserati’s drivetrain systems, particularly in cylinder head and timing chain assemblies. Its 16mm AF (across flats) specification matches OEM blueprints for the 3.0L V6 and 3.8L V8 powerplants used in contemporary Quattroporte and Levante models. The cross-hatched grip pattern prevents tool slippage during high-torque applications up to 300Nm. Technical specifications and performance impact Machined from SAE 4140 chromoly steel and heat-treated to 48-52 HRC, this insert maintains dimensional stability under extreme thermal cycling. The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance essential for components near coolant passages. Improperly seated inserts can lead to fastener rounding, causing: - Inaccurate valve timing alignment (±2° variance = 12% power loss) - Exhaust manifold leakage (increasing turbo lag by 0.3s) - Crankshaft pulley misalignment (accelerating harmonic balancer wear) SparesUSA.net sources these components directly from Maserati’s Tier 1 suppliers, ensuring 100% compatibility with factory service procedures.
