11700461 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta shim from the fuel system group, supplied in the 1.94 mm thickness. Shims of this type are used to set and correct clearance or pump timing within the fuel injection assembly, and the thickness marking is what separates this item from otherwise identical shims. It is specified 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

A shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to establish correct clearance, preload or timing height between mating fuel system components. Selecting the right thickness ensures the assembly is set to the specified tolerance.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Incorrect or drifting injection timing after component replacement
• Measured clearance outside the specified tolerance during assembly checks
• Visible wear, scoring or pitting on the shim faces
• Distortion or flattening of the shim reducing effective thickness
• Fuel leakage or poor sealing at the associated joint

🛠️ 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
