DNJ Head Spacer Shim 0.020in for 94-04 Toyota

Description

Product Overview

The DNJ Head Spacer Shim is a precision‑engineered component designed to sit between the engine block and cylinder head on 1994‑2004 Toyota trucks equipped with 2.4L‑2.7L L4 DOHC engines (3RZ‑FE, 2RZ‑FE). Constructed from high‑grade steel, the 0.020‑inch thick shim provides a stable, uniform gap that helps maintain proper head torque, reduces warpage, and improves compression. Its compact 15 × 12 × 2 inches dimensions and lightweight 9.6 oz weight make installation straightforward without adding bulk.

Usage

This shim is intended for use during cylinder head gasket replacement, engine rebuilds, or performance upgrades on Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and T100 models. It is installed on the engine block side, ensuring even pressure distribution across the head bolts. Ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics, the shim performs reliably in daily driving, off‑road conditions, and under moderate towing loads.
