Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

An incorrect or worn shim may initially cause slight operational irregularities or noise. If not corrected, it can lead to accelerated wear on adjacent components due to improper alignment. Continued operation risks damage to the assembly due to misalignment.

Installation Tip

Always clean mating surfaces thoroughly before installing a shim to ensure a flat and accurate fit. Do not reuse old shims, as they may be deformed or damaged.

Service Note

Inspect the components that the shim interfaces with for wear or damage during installation.
