Kanter Main Bearing Shim Sets

Kanter Auto main bearing shim sets are collections of pre-cut, laminated brass used to adjust the precise clearance and alignment of main bearings on a vintage engine's crankshaft. These shims are installed between the main bearing cap and the engine block, allowing for adjustments to reduce wear and noise, improve rigidity, and correct any misalignment.

Product details:

* Precise clearance adjustment: Shims are used to achieve the exact bearing clearance specified by the manufacturer, which is critical for engine performance and longevity.
* Aligning components: They help ensure proper alignment of the crankshaft within the engine block, reducing stress on the bearings and other engine components.
* Reducing noise and vibration: Correctly shimmed bearings prevent excessive play, which minimizes noise and vibration during operation.
* Correcting wear: When components wear, the shims can be used to restore proper spacing and function.
* Pre-cut and laminated: The shims are pre-cut to fit specific engine applications and are often made of laminated material, meaning thin layers can be peeled off for precise thickness adjustments.
