Description
Overview:
Villiers Bearing Shims are precision copper shims used to set correct bearing clearance and maintain crankshaft alignment in classic Villiers petrol engines. Made from durable copper, they help achieve smooth, efficient running by allowing fine adjustment during engine assembly or service. This Genuine Villiers Part is suitable for restoration and routine maintenance, especially on popular models such as MK10 and MK12. Supplied as genuine unused old stock, they retain the correct specification and fit for vintage applications. Cosmetic ageing such as tarnish may be present but does not affect performance. Ideal for workshops and enthusiasts working on small engines commonly found in mowers, cultivators, pumps, and generators.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers Part (unused old stock) for authenticity and correct fit
- Copper construction for stable thickness, good conformity, and long service life
- Helps set bearing end float and crank alignment for smooth operation and reduced wear
- Straightforward to install during rebuilds or services with standard tools
- Suitable for MK10, MK12, MK15 and C12 engines used across many garden and light construction machines
- Consistent dimensions for reliable repeatable setup across both sides of the crankcase
- Tarnishing or patina on NOS pieces does not affect function or accuracy
- Supports original-spec restorations where maintaining factory tolerances matters
Typical Applications:
Used during crankcase assembly to adjust main bearing clearance, after replacing bearings or crankshafts, and when diagnosing end-float issues. Common in vintage rebuilds of lawn mowers, rotavators, generators, pumps, and similar small machinery powered by Villiers engines. Suitable for service work where precise alignment and smooth running are required.
