Shim set: four 32 mm shims (Thickness: 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm respectively). The four 32 mm shims do not have thickness
identification marks. Measure the thickness of each shim using a micrometer, and mark the shim for identification.
b. Install the valve body unit on the gearbox, and tighten the flange bolts to the specified torque.
c. Measure the clearance between the gearbox and valve body unit using a feeler gauge as shown.
NOTE: Measure the clearance at the point midway between the two mounting bolts.
d. Determine the required thickness of the 32 mm shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in step c. from the total thickness of the four shims.
(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) = Required thickness of the shims.
NOTE: Select the shims so that the total thickness is close to, but less than the required thickness.
Example: Measurement is 0.28 mm (0.011 inch): 0.70 - 0.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = 0.017 inch).
The selected shims should be 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) and 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) in thickness.
If the required shim thickness is 0.10 mm or less, no shims are necessary.
