Its inner diameter and outer profile are designed for precise placement between the cylinder head and engine block, helping to accommodate thermal expansion and manufacturing tolerances. Proper use of this shim ensures that gasket sealing is maintained, preventing leaks and maintaining optimal compression ratios. It’s a critical component during engine rebuilds or head gasket replacements, where precise clearance is necessary for reliable operation.
