Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This precision-ground valve adjusting shim is a vital component for maintaining correct valve clearance within the engine's valve train. By providing an exact thickness of 2.15 mm, it ensures the valve seats fully on every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face from premature wear.Compatible Volvo and Renault Trucks engines
This shim is engineered for heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines, specifically fitting Volvo models including the VHD, FM10, FM12, FH12, FH16, NH12, and VNL series with D10A, D12, D12C, D12D, or D16C engines. It is also compatible with Renault Trucks Magnum engines featuring the DXi12 configuration.Installation and maintenance guidance
For proper installation, technicians should ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated before assembly to prevent scoring upon first start-up. It is essential to measure each valve individually rather than assuming uniform clearance across all cylinders to maintain engine timing and efficiency.Maintenance and troubleshooting
Regular maintenance of the valve train helps prevent excessive noise and power loss. Always verify clearances after adjustment and consider renewing the cylinder head cover gasket during the service interval.OE cross-reference
1300 05 004 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547970.Other OEMs

How can I ensure I am selecting the correct thickness?
Compatibility is confirmed by cross-referencing the OE part number of the removed shim or cylinder head, as dimensions vary by engine code.
What happens if a shim is incorrectly installed?
Improperly fitted or worn shims can lead to incorrect clearance, resulting in compression loss and potential damage to the valve seating face.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
