Description

What does a piston & liner shim do?

This piston & liner shim serves as a critical adjustment component within the heavy-duty diesel engine assembly. It is installed between the cylinder liner and the engine block seating surface to calibrate the liner protrusion to exact specifications. Precise protrusion is vital for maintaining correct clamping pressure on the cylinder head gasket, which ensures long-term engine sealing and prevents compression loss.

Compatibility and application

This specific component is compatible with Mercedes-Benz engines. It is engineered to withstand high cylinder pressures and thermal stress during heavy commercial vehicle operation. The shim ensures that the liner remains securely seated, maintaining the structural integrity of the combustion chamber under extreme load.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing an engine overhaul or replacing a cylinder liner, technicians must measure the current protrusion to select the correct thickness. This 0,10 mm shim is designed for high-precision fitment, featuring an outside diameter of 163,50 mm and an inside diameter of 153,40 mm. Proper installation prevents uneven gasket loading and potential coolant or oil leaks.

Troubleshooting and selection

Maintaining correct clearance through accurate shimming helps optimize fuel efficiency and prevents premature wear of the head gasket. Always verify the required protrusion measurements before installation to ensure a perfect seal within the engine block.

OE cross-reference

1100 02 041 (Piston & Liner Shim) is the equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz OE number. This part directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 5410110059.

FAQ

What is the function of a piston & liner shim?
The shim adjusts the cylinder liner protrusion to ensure correct clamping pressure on the head gasket, which is essential for maintaining proper engine compression and sealing.
How do I know if this shim fits my engine?
Compatibility is determined by matching the required protrusion measurements with the shim thickness. This model features a 163,50 mm outside diameter and 153,40 mm inside diameter.
Why is precise thickness important during an overhaul?
Incorrect thickness can lead to improper liner seating, causing gasket failure or loss of compression due to insufficient or excessive clamping force.
What symptoms indicate a need for new shims?
If an engine overhaul is being performed or if there are signs of coolant/oil leakage from the cylinder head area, checking and replacing shims may be necessary.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1100 02 041 directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 5410110059.
