11705726 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta fuel system shim in the 1.35 mm thickness (TH=1,35mm), used as an adjusting washer to set the correct clearance or calibrated dimension within the fuel injection assembly. Thickness is the only thing separating this shim from its siblings, so confirm the 1.35 mm size is the one your setting procedure calls for before ordering. It supersedes and replaces the earlier adjusting washer 243474.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: TAMD, AD, TMD, KAD, KAMD
• HP Range: Approximately 7.5-300 HP

🔌 Function

The shim acts as a precision spacer that sets a specified clearance or height within the fuel injection system during assembly and adjustment. Selecting the correct thickness ensures fuel delivery and timing fall within the specified tolerance.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Fuel delivery or injection timing outside specification after service or overhaul
• Visible wear, scoring or pitting on the shim faces
• Deformation or compression of the shim, giving an incorrect measured clearance
• Fuel seepage or weeping at the joint the shim sits within
• Rough running, hard starting or poor performance traced to an incorrect adjustment dimension

🛠️ 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
