This OEM-specification shim plate is used in PCM inboard engine assemblies to set and maintain critical clearances — whether that’s fine-tuning engine mount height, achieving correct drivetrain alignment, or establishing the right spacing between mating components during assembly or service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shim plate that’s the wrong thickness or missing entirely leads to misalignment that shows up as vibration, premature coupling wear, or stress on the shaft and cutlass bearing. Using the correct OEM part ensures the specified clearance is maintained exactly as the engine was designed to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest suited for engine mount adjustment and drivetrain alignment work on PCM inboard engines, or any assembly procedure where the service manual specifies a shim plate at this location. Commonly needed when re-installing an engine after removal, replacing engine mounts, or correcting vibration caused by drivetrain misalignment. Also used as a replacement when the original shim plate is lost, corroded, or damaged during disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Engine shim plate (precision spacer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: PCM inboard engine assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 98124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Sets and maintains critical clearances during assembly and alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecification: OEM replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShim plates are application-specific — thickness and dimensions vary by engine model and the assembly location they’re used in. Always reference your engine’s service manual or parts diagram to confirm that 98124 is the correct shim for your specific application before ordering. If you’re performing a full engine alignment, shim selection should be based on measured clearances rather than assumed carry-over from the previous installation.
