Description

What does a piston & liner shim do?

This piston & liner shim is a precision-engineered component used to adjust the protrusion of the cylinder liner within the engine block. By providing a specific thickness, it ensures that the liner sits at the exact height required to maintain proper clamping pressure on the cylinder head gasket, which is critical for preventing leaks and maintaining compression in heavy commercial vehicle engines.

Compatibility and dimensions

This specific component is designed for Mercedes-Benz applications and is selected based on measured liner seating to ensure exact fitment. The part features an outside diameter of 163.50 mm and an inside diameter of 153.40 mm, specifically intended for Ø 130 applications to maintain high-strength sealing under heavy-duty operating conditions.

Installation and maintenance

During engine overhauls or when replacing liners, technicians must measure the current protrusion to select the correct shim thickness from the graduated series. Proper installation of this 0.20 mm shim prevents uneven pressure distribution on the gasket, which helps avoid premature engine failure or oil leakage.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure this shim meets the specific requirements of your engine series.

FAQ

What is the purpose of a piston & liner shim?
It is used to adjust the cylinder liner protrusion to the target range, ensuring correct clamping pressure on the cylinder head gasket for proper engine sealing.
How do I know if this shim fits my engine?
Selection depends on measured liner protrusion; this specific part features a 163.50 mm outside diameter and 153.40 mm inside diameter for Ø 130 applications.
Why is thickness important for this part?
The thickness, such as this 0.20 mm variant, determines exactly how much the liner sits above the block surface, which is vital for maintaining compression and preventing leaks.
Can these shims be used in heavy commercial vehicles?
Yes, they are designed for heavy commercial vehicle engines, including Mercedes-Benz, to withstand high temperatures and cylinder pressures during operation.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1100 02 043 directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 5410110059.
