# 3852908 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim from the Marine Propulsion group, weighing 38.56 g, with no fitment list published against the number. At 38.56 g it is by far - the others are 0.23 g, 2.27 g, 4.54 g and 9.07 g - so it is a physically much larger shim rather than a thickness step within the same set.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   38.56 g
-   Much larger than the other shims in this run
-   No published thickness
-   Order by part number

## 🔌 Function

Sets a measured clearance or preload between two components, its thickness deciding the final position of the part it sits behind.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Clearance or preload that cannot be brought to specification
-   Rumble or whine from the assembly under load
-   Shim dished, cracked or heavily bruised
-   Fretting or pick-up on the seating face

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Do not treat this as a thickness step alongside the small shims in the same number block - the weight difference points to a different size of shim
-   Renew a damaged shim rather than dressing it flat

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
