According to my service manual they only come in 0.007, 0.008, 0.009, 0.015 and 0.030 " thickness, at least from Cat source.
Its a waste of time fitting shims without cleaning up the counterbore seat, its because of erosion here that shims are required, best do it right first time.
I will check more on the counter-bore condition. We wanted to do it the easy way, just add the shims, specially as the crank and cam is already in place. But now it looks like we have to machine this counter-bores first to spec.
old magnet: would you have cat part numbers for those shims? Thanks

Here is the entire spec....
Hey old magnet, that is exactly what i was looking for. 😊 A thousand thanks.
Now it was a breeze to order those at cat dealer. Before they didn't know where to find this information... kind of ridiculous.
I am new to the forum and am looking for these shims for a 3306. I cannot view the full spec the Ol Magnet posted. Is there any chance somone could repost it?
Thanks,
Hi BW Farms,
welcome to the BB.
Due to attachment space limitations we have to periodically remove scans from our old posts to post more for current subjects--soon due to change with the new BB.
Cheers,
