Description
What does a piston & liner shim do?
This piston and liner shim serves as a critical adjustment component within heavy-duty diesel engines, specifically designed to regulate the protrusion of the cylinder liner relative to the block surface. By providing a precise thickness, this part ensures the correct clamping pressure on the cylinder head gasket, which is vital for maintaining compression and preventing leaks under high combustion pressures.Compatibility and application
Designed for Mercedes-Benz applications, this component is essential during engine overhauls or when replacing cylinder liners in heavy commercial vehicle engines. It is engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in truck and bus engines, ensuring long-term reliability through stable clearance adjustments.Technical specifications
The shim features a 0.50 mm thickness with an outside diameter of 163.50 mm and an inside diameter of 153.40 mm. When performing an engine rebuild, technicians should measure the existing liner protrusion to select the exact thickness required for optimal sealing performance.Installation and maintenance
To ensure proper engine longevity, always verify that the shim is free from debris before installation and that the seating surface is clean. Maintaining correct liner protrusion is fundamental to preventing gasket failure and ensuring efficient heat transfer within the combustion chamber.OE cross-reference
1100 02 047 (Piston & Liner Shim) is the equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz OE number. This part directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 5410110059.Technical Specifications

FAQ
What is the function of a piston and liner shim?
A piston and liner shim is used to adjust the protrusion of a cylinder liner within the engine block, ensuring proper clamping pressure on the head gasket for secure sealing.
How do I choose the correct thickness for my engine?
The required thickness should be determined by measuring the actual liner protrusion during an engine overhaul to ensure it matches the manufacturer's target range.
Can these shims be used in heavy commercial vehicles?
Yes, these shims are designed for heavy-duty applications including trucks, buses, and other commercial engines requiring precise cylinder clearance.
Why is precise liner protrusion important?
Correct protrusion is vital because it dictates the clamping force on the cylinder head gasket; improper seating can lead to combustion leaks or loss of compression.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1100 02 047 directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 5410110059.
