⚙️ Key Features

• TH=0.2mm (Volvo assembly listing)

🔌 Function

Provides a precisely selected thickness used to establish the specified cylinder-liner protrusion or assembly clearance. Measure the installed clearance or liner protrusion at the specified points and select the required thickness; do not substitute by part number alone.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Cylinder-liner protrusion outside the specified range
• Repeated head-gasket leakage or combustion gas entering coolant
• Coolant or oil leakage at the liner/deck interface
• Low compression or uneven cylinder sealing
• Fretting, corrosion, deformation or incorrect shim thickness

🛠️ 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
