Product Description:
The purpose of Maserati part number 222874 shim-washer is to adjust the clearance between two mating surfaces This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to:
Shim-washers are typically made of a thin, flat material such as metal or plastic.
In the case of Maserati part number 222874, the shim-washer is used in the engine to adjust the clearance between the camshaft and the cam follower. This is a critical clearance, as it affects the timing of the valve opening and closing. If the clearance is too tight, the camshaft and cam follower will rub against each other, causing premature wear and tear. If the clearance is too loose, the valve timing will be off, which can lead to performance problems and engine damage.
To adjust the clearance, the shim-washer is placed between the camshaft and the cam follower. The thickness of the shim-washer is selected to achieve the correct clearance. Once the shim-washer is in place, the camshaft is tightened down and the valve timing is checked.
Shim-washers are a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-install way to adjust clearances in a variety of applications. They are commonly used in engines, transmissions, and suspensions.
Here are some specific examples of how shim-washers can be used in a Maserati:
Shim-washers are an important part of many Maserati engines and other components. By using shim-washers to adjust clearances, Maserati engineers are able to ensure that these components operate at peak performance and durability.
