Oil Seal Shim Used With TIP2817

The Oil Seal Shim used with TIP2817 is a precision spacer engineered for high-performance engine builds where critical clearances demand exact tolerances. This Ti22 Performance component addresses a common challenge in modern engine assembly: controlling oil seal compression and axial play during installation. Whether you're rebuilding a street engine, tuning a track platform, or servicing a tight-tolerance platform, proper seal shimming prevents oil weeping, reduces internal drag, and protects bearing surfaces from contamination.

This shim works in concert with the TIP2817 assembly as a preload and positioning device, ensuring the oil seal maintains consistent contact pressure against rotating shafts without over-compression that can accelerate seal wear. The minimal weight (0.02 lbs) reflects its compact, precision-machined design—engineered to stack predictably for fine-tuning seal geometry. Compact dimensions allow installation in tight engine bays where space is at a premium, while the material composition and finish resist corrosion and thermal cycling common in performance applications.

Mechanics and engine builders working with Ti22 Performance seal kits will recognize this shim as essential for achieving OEM or tighter clearance specs on crankshaft, camshaft, and transmission applications. It pairs specifically with the TIP2817 seal assembly, making it the correct choice for systems requiring this pairing. Proper installation prevents the common post-rebuild oil leak that plagues hastily assembled engines and ensures longevity in both street and competitive environments.
