Water Pump Shim SHLPDFM Accessory 1/16 Thick

Description

Product Overview

Designed for Chevrolet and Ford water pumps, the SHLPDFM shim set provides precise alignment between the water pump and the drive pulley. The package includes two 1/16‑inch thick shims and one 1/8‑inch thick shim, matching OEM part number 6129. Constructed from high‑strength steel, each shim resists deformation under the high‑temperature and high‑vibration conditions of modern engines.

Usage

Install the shims between the water pump and the accessory pulley during routine maintenance or when replacing a water pump. Ideal for engines that operate above 6,000 RPM, the shims keep the belt centered, preventing premature wear and ensuring consistent coolant flow.

FAQ

What engines are compatible with these shims?

The shims are designed for most Chevrolet and Ford engines that use a water pump with a 5/8″ or 3/4″ center shaft. Check your vehicle’s service manual for exact fitment.

Do I need any special tools to install the shims?

No special tools are required. The shims are thin enough to fit between the pump and pulley and can be installed with basic hand tools such as a socket set and a torque wrench.

Can these shims be used on aftermarket water pumps?

Yes, as long as the aftermarket pump uses the same center shaft dimensions (5/8″ or 3/4″), the shims will provide the same alignment benefits.

How do the shims improve engine performance?

By maintaining proper pulley alignment, the shims prevent belt slip and wear, ensuring consistent water pump operation and reliable coolant circulation, especially at high engine speeds.

Are the shims covered by a warranty?

All SHLPDFM shims come with a limited one‑year warranty against manufacturing defects, reflecting our confidence in product quality.
