Cylinder Head Spacer Shims

Enginetech Cylinder Head Spacer Shims help restore valve train geometry, valve clearance, O.E. compression ratios and cam timing to factory specifications on engines where cylinder head and/or block surfaces have been resurfaced below factory limits. Use this shim with conventional head gaskets only.

Use on engines where extreme resurfacing of cylinder head and/or block head surface has occurred
Shims restores compression ratios and assembled heights to factory specs
Made from .020” cold rolled steel (thickness of steel shim may vary).

How Do You Know If You Need Cylinder Head Spacer Shims?

If you have cylinder head/block with surfaces that have been resurfaced below the factory limit, then you will need to install a shim.

Tip: Shims should always be installed on the block side with the cylinder head gasket on top.
