1300 02 045 Volvo Compatible 0.30 mm Piston & Liner Shim

What does a piston and liner shim do?

This specialized piston and liner shim serves as a critical adjustment component within the cylinder liner assembly of heavy-duty diesel engines. By being fitted between the cylinder liner and the engine block seating surface, it allows technicians to achieve the exact liner protrusion required for proper cylinder head gasket clamping pressure. This precision is essential for maintaining long-term engine sealing and preventing compression loss.

Compatibility with Volvo TD100 engines

This specific shim is designed for compatibility with Volvo engines, particularly within the TD100 series. It features an outside diameter of 146.10 mm, an inside diameter of 141.10 mm, and a thickness of 0.30 mm to ensure accurate fitment during engine overhauls or liner replacements.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For workshop technicians performing engine rebuilds, measuring the current liner protrusion is vital before selecting the correct shim thickness. Using the correct dimension ensures that the cylinder liner remains stable under high combustion pressures. Always verify the required clearance against technical specifications during installation to prevent gasket failure or improper sealing.

Importance of precise measurement

When performing maintenance on heavy commercial vehicle engines, selecting the correct shim grade is decisive for engine longevity. This component helps manage the thermal expansion and mechanical stresses encountered during heavy-duty operation.
