Description

What does a piston and liner shim do?

This piston and liner shim is a critical adjustment component used to set the liner protrusion within the precise range required by the engine block. By providing a controlled thickness between the cylinder liner and the seating surface, it ensures the cylinder head gasket experiences balanced clamping pressure, which is vital for maintaining a high-pressure seal in heavy-duty diesel engines.

Technical specifications and fitment

This specific shim is designed for use in heavy commercial vehicle engines where precise liner positioning is mandatory during an overhaul or liner replacement. The component features an outside diameter of 166.30 mm and an inside diameter of 160.30 mm, with a thickness of 0.40 mm to meet exact technical requirements.

Installation and maintenance guidance

During installation, technicians must ensure that the seating surface is clean and free of debris to allow for accurate protrusion measurement. Selecting the correct shim thickness is decisive for preventing gas leaks and preventing premature gasket failure under high combustion pressures.

Ensuring correct liner protrusion

For reliable engine performance, always verify the measured protrusion against the manufacturer's service manual to confirm this shim provides the necessary height adjustment.
