# 11705740 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta shim in the 1.80 mm thickness, used within the fuel system to set correct clearance and shimming during injection pump and injector installation. Thickness is what separates this shim from otherwise identical parts, so confirm the 1.80 mm size is the one specified for your build. It supersedes the earlier adjusting washer 243483 and is fitted across the 2001-2003 series and the 31/41/42/43 series marine diesel engines.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** TAMD, AD, TMD, KAD, KAMD
-   **HP Range:** Approximately 7.5-300 HP
-   **Year Range:** Approximately mid-1970s - 2005

## 🔌 Function

The shim acts as a precision spacer that sets the correct height, clearance or preload at its mounting point in the fuel system. Selecting the specified thickness ensures components are packed to the tolerance called for in the engine's service specification.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Measured clearance or protrusion outside the specified service tolerance
-   Visible wear, scoring or pitting on the shim faces
-   Distortion, bending or compression after removal
-   Fuel seepage or loss of sealing at the shimmed joint
-   Rough running, hard starting or incorrect injection timing traced to incorrect shim thickness

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Shims are supplied in graded thicknesses and exist to bring a setting into specification, so measure with a micrometer and select the thickness the setting procedure for your engine calls for rather than matching one by eye
-   Note which shim came from which position on removal and keep them identified — once an assembly has bedded in, shims are not interchangeable between positions
-   Check both faces are clean, flat and free of burrs, corrosion and old sealant before fitting; dirt trapped under a shim shifts the setting as surely as the wrong thickness does
-   Discard any shim that is dished, cracked, pitted or fretted rather than reusing it, and make sure no old shim has been left behind in the recess
-   Recheck the clearance or setting after the assembly is tightened down, because clamping load can change the measurement you took loose
