Victor Reinz 71-13830-00 is a copper cylinder head spacer shim for Ford FE engines. It is used in engine-building and machine-shop work where head gasket stack height, compression ratio or previously machined surfaces need to be compensated.

Application / fitment

Designed for selected Ford FE engines, including 332 / 352 / 361 / 390 / 406 / 427, depending on bore size, coolant passage layout and the head gasket being used. Compare the shim with the block, cylinder head and final head gasket before installation.
