PCM Engine Shim Plate | 98124

Precision matters when it comes to engine alignment. This OEM-specification shim plate is used in PCM inboard engine assemblies to set and maintain critical clearances whether thats fine-tuning engine mount height, achieving correct drivetrain alignment, or establishing the right spacing between mating components during assembly or service.

A shim plate thats the wrong thickness or missing entirely leads to misalignment that shows up as vibration, premature coupling wear, or stress on the shaft and cutlass bearing. Using the correct OEM part ensures the specified clearance is maintained exactly as the engine was designed to run.

Best Use Case

Best suited for engine mount adjustment and drivetrain alignment work on PCM inboard engines, or any assembly procedure where the service manual specifies a shim plate at this location. Commonly needed when re-installing an engine after removal, replacing engine mounts, or correcting vibration caused by drivetrain misalignment. Also used as a replacement when the original shim plate is lost, corroded, or damaged during disassembly.

Parts Desk Insights

Shim plates are application-specific thickness and dimensions vary by engine model and the assembly location theyre used in. Always reference your engines service manual or parts diagram to confirm that 98124 is the correct shim for your specific application before ordering. If youre performing a full engine alignment, shim selection should be based on measured clearances rather than assumed carry-over from the previous installation.
