Description

What does a piston and liner shim do?

This piston and liner shim serves as a critical adjustment ring installed between the cylinder liner and the engine block seating surface. By precisely controlling liner protrusion, this component ensures the correct clamping pressure is applied to the cylinder head gasket, which is vital for maintaining proper engine sealing under high combustion pressures.

Engine compatibility and fitment

Designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz engines, this shim is essential during engine overhauls or when replacing liners to ensure exact clearances. It features an outside diameter of 163.50 mm and an inside diameter of 153.40 mm, with a thickness of 0.20 mm, making it suitable for specific engine configurations requiring precise protrusion settings.

Installation and maintenance

During installation, technicians must carefully measure the liner protrusion to select the correct thickness from a graduated series. Ensuring the shim is seated correctly prevents improper gasket compression and potential oil or coolant leaks. Proper maintenance of these high-strength components is key to engine longevity.

Selection guidance

Always consult your authorized distributor to verify the exact fitment for your specific engine series and ensure the shim meets the required measurement standards.
