Abstract
A wear shim assembly is provided which includes a substantially U-shaped wear shim for protecting selected wear surfaces on the engine casing of a gas turbine engine. The wear shim advantageously simultaneously protects multiple surfaces of the engine casing, namely, a radial seating surface and an axial seating surface of the engine casing, from undesired differential thermal expansion wear and vibrational wear.
