🔧 Product Description
Genuine Volvo Penta shim from the Marine Propulsion group, weighing 0.076 kg. It supersedes part number 3888258. No thickness is published against the number, and published weight is an unreliable guide across graded shims, so measure the shim you are replacing and order by number.
⚙️ Key Features
- Marine Propulsion group
- 0.076 kg
- Supersedes 3888258
- No thickness published, so measure the existing shim
🔌 Function
Sets a clearance or preload by packing out a joint by a controlled thickness.
⚠️ Common Signs of Failure
- Clearance or preload found outside specification on assembly
- Shim dished, dented or fretted on one face
- Whine or knock from the assembly it sets
- Uneven wear pattern on the mating components
🛠️ Service Notes
- Shims come in graded thicknesses, so measure the original and check the clearance on assembly rather than fitting like for like blind
- Keep the shim faces clean and unburred - a trapped burr changes the setting
