This shim is a critical component within the engine's valve train system, precisely controlling the clearance between the camshaft and valve lifters. It is manufactured to exact OEM specifications, ensuring optimal performance and durability compared to worn or damaged shims that can lead to improper valve timing. Symptoms of a failing shim include engine misfires, a noticeable ticking noise from the cylinder head, and a loss of engine power.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
An improperly functioning shim may initially present as an audible ticking or tapping noise from the engine's upper end. If left unaddressed, this can lead to increased wear on camshaft lobes and valve lifters, potentially causing reduced engine performance and efficiency.
Ensure the camshaft and lifter surfaces are meticulously clean before installing a new shim to prevent premature wear. Avoid overtightening any related components, as this can damage the new shim or other valve train parts.
Inspect camshaft lobes and valve lifters for wear when replacing shims.
