The Multiquip 8971160340 is a genuine OEM Shim T=0.40 DCA25USI 4LE2 designed for the DCA25USI ultra-silent diesel generator. As a direct Multiquip OEM component, 8971160340 is manufactured to the precise thickness tolerance required by the Isuzu 4LE2 engine fitted in the DCA25USI, ensuring correct clearance and alignment during service. DHS Equipment stocks this part to help keep your DCA25USI generator performing at its rated output without the guesswork of sourcing non-specified shims.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — Manufactured at precisely T=0.40mm to meet the tight clearance tolerances of the Isuzu 4LE2 engine, where even minor dimensional variation can affect bearing preload and component wear.
- Genuine OEM Quality — Sourced directly from Multiquip as an OEM part, this shim is produced from the same material and to the same dimensional standard as the shim originally installed at the factory.
- Confirmed DCA25USI Fitment — Specifically referenced for the DCA25USI ultra-silent generator series; verify your model and engine configuration before ordering to ensure correct selection.
- Critical Clearance Control — Shims in the 4LE2 engine control component spacing and preload across rotating assemblies; using the correct thickness prevents accelerated wear, noise, and premature component failure.
- Drop-In Service Part — Dimensionally identical to the original, this shim seats and functions without modification during engine rebuild or adjustment procedures.
A shim is a precision-thickness spacer used inside an engine to set exact clearances between moving or stationary components — such as valves, bearings, or rotating shafts. In the Isuzu 4LE2 engine found in the DCA25USI generator, shims are selected during assembly or rebuild to achieve the correct mechanical clearance specified by the engine manufacturer. Using a shim of the wrong thickness — even by a fraction of a millimeter — can lead to improper preload, accelerated wear on mating surfaces, increased noise, or eventual mechanical failure, making it essential to install the exact OEM-specified part during any service procedure.
