The Multiquip 8971160400 is a genuine OEM Shim T=0.55 DCA25USI 4LE2 designed for the DCA25USI ultra-silent diesel generator series. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this shim is manufactured to the exact thickness specification required for proper component alignment and clearance within the engine assembly. Confirm part number 8971160400 against your machine's parts manual before ordering to ensure a correct match for your DCA25USI unit.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — Manufactured to the precise T=0.55 measurement critical for maintaining correct component clearance and alignment in the 4LE2 engine.
- Genuine OEM Component — Supplied as an authorized Multiquip OEM part, ensuring the material grade and dimensional accuracy match the original shim installed at the factory.
- Direct-Fit for DCA25USI — Engineered specifically for the DCA25USI ultra-silent generator, dropping into place without modification against mating surfaces.
- Protects Engine Tolerances — A correctly fitted shim maintains the tight tolerances the 4LE2 engine depends on; a worn or incorrect shim can lead to misalignment, uneven wear, and accelerated component failure.
- Supports Proper Engine Calibration — Using the correct shim thickness is essential when reassembling engine components where clearance adjustments directly affect fuel delivery, valve timing, or bearing preload.
A shim is a precision spacer used to fill the gap between two mating components and set the exact clearance or preload required for correct operation. In diesel engine assemblies like the Isuzu 4LE2 found in the DCA25USI, shims are used to fine-tune tolerances during assembly or rebuild — ensuring that moving parts operate within their designed range. Installing a shim of the wrong thickness can cause components to bind, wear unevenly, or lose calibration, making it important to replace with the exact-specification part every time.
