The Genie 226616GT Valve Cover Bolt, 6MM is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie GTH series telehandlers, including the GTH-644, GTH-844, GTH-842, and GTH-636. As a direct OEM replacement, this bolt is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring the correct fit and clamp load on the valve cover sealing surface. Cross-reference part number 226616GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right fastener for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Produced to the same thread pitch, grade, and dimensional tolerances as the original, so the valve cover seats and seals correctly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Installs in the same position as the factory fastener with no reworking of the bolt holes or cover flange.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Fitment — Compatible with the GTH-644, GTH-844, GTH-842, and GTH-636, covering a wide range of Genie telescopic handler configurations.
- Correct Torque Retention — The correct bolt grade ensures the valve cover can be torqued to spec, maintaining an even seal across the gasket and preventing weeps or leaks at the cover joint.
- Engine Integrity at Risk Without It — A stripped, missing, or incorrect valve cover bolt allows the cover to lift or shift under vibration, compromising the gasket seal and leading to fluid loss or contamination ingress.
A valve cover bolt secures the valve cover to the engine head, clamping the gasket evenly across the sealing surface to keep fluid in and contaminants out. When one or more of these bolts is stripped, over-torqued, or missing, the cover can no longer maintain uniform pressure on the gasket, and the seal will fail — typically showing as a weep or drip at the cover rail. Replacing a damaged bolt promptly with the correct OEM fastener restores proper clamping force and protects the engine from fluid loss and outside contamination.
