Description
This valve adjusting shim serves as a precision-ground spacer designed to maintain the specific valve clearance required for optimal engine performance. By sitting between the rocker arm or cam follower and the valve, it ensures the valve seats fully during every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face under continuous impact loading.
This specific 2.30 mm grade is compatible with various heavy commercial vehicle engines, including Volvo FH16 (D16C), FM10 (D10A), VHD (D12), NH12 (D12C), FH12 (D12D, D12C), FM12 (D12D, D12C), VNL (D12), and Renault Trucks Magnum (DXi12). The correct selection of thickness is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of the engine's valve train.
For professional technicians, it is recommended to measure each valve individually rather than assuming uniform clearance across all cylinders. When installing, ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated to prevent scoring upon first start-up. Always verify clearances after assembly before finalizing the installation.
Selecting the correct thickness is essential to prevent premature wear of the cam profile or valve stem. If clearances have drifted due to wear, replacing the shim with a high-strength component of the exact specified grade will restore factory-standard operation.
A valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground steel spacer that brings valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to the tolerance set by the manufacturer.

FAQ
What is the function of a valve adjusting shim?
It acts as a precision spacer that adjusts the gap between the cam follower and the valve, ensuring correct valve clearance and full seating for efficient combustion.
Which engines are these shims compatible with?
They are compatible with various Volvo engines like D16C, D10A, D12, D12C, and D12D, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum DXi12 engines.
How can I ensure I am using the correct thickness?
Technicians should cross-reference the thickness with the OE part number or measure existing clearance to ensure precise fitment within the engine's tolerance.
What are the signs that a shim needs replacement?
Symptoms can include increased engine noise (clatter), loss of compression, or irregular idling caused by improper valve clearance.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 007 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547973.
