Precision Liner Height Adjustment for Optimal Performance

What Are Shims?

Liner shims are thin, precisely-crafted pieces of material used to adjust the alignment of engine components. Whether you’re dealing with misaligned motors or other engine parts, our shims offer an easy and effective way to achieve optimal alignment, reducing vibration, wear, and tear while improving the overall performance and lifespan of your equipment.

Why Choose Rutt's Machine Liner Shims?

On-Site Service

Rutts Machine has two dedicated employees who perform on-site counterbore machining, to set the liner height, to spec.

Unmatched Quality

Our custom-made shims are machined from pipe stock, with a CNC lathe. The material used is a special high-durability formula of industrial-grade stainless steel, forged with additives to increase durability and reliability. Each shim is designed to withstand the demands of the most grueling conditions, guaranteeing long-lasting performance.

“No Machining Shims” (for Cummins ISX)


One common cause for head gasket failure on a Cummins ISX is the failure of the original brass shims, which have been smashed or broken into pieces. In many such cases (with brass shims) the engine counterbores are not damaged at all. We can save you from having to machine new counterbores by providing stainless steel replacement shims that restore the liner back to the high side spec, without having to machine the counterbores.
