Cylinder Liner Projection

[dieselscout80]

Has anyone ever seen shims to adjust the liner projection (0.02 - 0.09mm is the book #'s) if the liner is too low?

I know other diesels have them, but I have not sen a part # for them.

No. But that doesn't mean shims can't be used. Is there a problem?

A guy on the Binder Bulletin got a rebuilt engine, but he found one liner is low.

Not good. Time for customer service. If he's just got to deal with it I would pull out the liner and mike everything to determine the problem. I'd buy a new liner if the old one was short and I'd have a gasket shop cut an appropriate shim if the block fillister is too deep. Only the piston in the offending cylinder needs to be removed, and the whole operation can be done without pulling the motor.

I was hoping to find a part # for the shims.

[Knucklehead]

Good luck.
