11700444 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta shim from the fuel system group, supplied in the 1.38 mm thickness. Shims of this type are used to set precise clearance or standing height within the fuel injection assembly, and the thickness value is what separates this item from otherwise identical shims - ordering the wrong thickness will alter the setting it is intended to establish. It is listed for TAD520VE and TAD720VE engines.

• Engine Family: TAD
• HP Range: Approximately 160-300 HP
• Year Range: Engine family introduced from 2001; final fitment is controlled by engine model, specification number, injector number and measured calibration requirement

🔌 Function

The shim acts as a precision spacer that adjusts clearance or component height within the fuel system assembly. Correct shim thickness ensures the injection components are set to the specified tolerance for accurate fuel delivery.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Incorrect clearance or standing height measured during fuel system service
• Visible wear, scoring or pitting on the shim faces
• Deformation or flattening from over-torquing or long service life
• Fuel delivery irregularities or rough running traced to out-of-spec injection settings
• Corrosion or contamination preventing the shim from seating flat

🛠️ 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
