Ferrea Audi 2.0T FSI DOHC 16 Valve Lifter Shim - Single (Drop Ship Only)

This Ferrea lifter shim is made from high-grade stainless steel, a material chosen for its strength and resistance to wear in the demanding environment of an engine's valvetrain. Specifically designed for Audi 2.0T FSI DOHC 16-valve engines, this single shim is a critical component for ensuring your engine's valves operate with the correct clearance, known as valve lash.

Proper valve lash is important for several reasons. It allows for the expansion and contraction of engine components due to heat, preventing damage and ensuring optimal performance. Too much lash can lead to noisy operation and reduced power, while too little can cause valves to stay open too long, leading to poor sealing and potential damage to the valve seats and piston tops. This shim, with its precise dimensions, helps mechanics accurately set that lash during engine assembly or repair.

Because this is a single shim, it's ideal for situations where you need to replace just one or make very fine adjustments to your valve lash settings. Remember that when working on your engine's valvetrain, it's always best to consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct specifications and procedures.
