-   2.27 g
-   One of a graded run of shims

## 🔌 Function

Sets a measured clearance or preload in the assembly, the thickness of the shim deciding where the mating component ends up sitting.

-   Shim dished, bruised or burred at the edges
-   Bright fretting marks on the seating face

## 🛠️ Service Notes
