Description
Meziere SS044 Chevrolet Starter Shim (0.160″ Thick)
Precision laser-cut 0.160″ starter shim designed for Chevrolet straight bolt pattern starters to achieve optimal pinion gear mesh clearance.
Overview & Operational Mechanics
In high-performance motorsport and custom engine builds, achieving precise starter pinion-to-ring gear alignment is crucial to prevent binding, premature gear tooth wear, or engagement failure. The Meziere SS044 starter shim provides a substantial 0.160″ (approx. 4.06 mm) spacing adjustment specifically tailored for Chevrolet engine blocks and starters utilizing a straight bolt mounting pattern.
Engineered with a convenient slotted and tabbed profile, this shim allows race technicians and engine builders to quickly insert or adjust spacing during ring gear clearance setup without requiring the complete removal of starter mounting hardware.
Key Features
- ☑ 0.160″ Thickness: Provides substantial displacement for aftermarket block alignment and non-standard bellhousing clearances.
