Aftermarket EBC1136046 Valve Adjusting Shim .1070 Inch

The Aftermarket EBC1136046 is a precision valve adjusting shim manufactured to a thickness of .1070 inches (2.718mm). This component is essential for maintaining proper valve clearance in engines equipped with shim-over-bucket or shim-under-bucket valve adjustment systems.

Key Features:

• Precision-ground to exact .1070 inch thickness specification
• Used to establish correct valve-to-cam clearance during valve adjustment
• Manufactured to meet OEM tolerance standards
• Critical component for proper engine valve train operation
• Prevents valve damage and maintains optimal engine performance

Valve adjusting shims are installed between the camshaft and valve stem (or valve bucket) to achieve the manufacturer's specified valve clearance. Proper valve clearance is essential for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. When refacing valves or grinding valve seats, material loss occurs which requires compensation with appropriately sized shims to restore correct spring pressure and valve timing.
