Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
A valve adjusting shim is a precision component used to bring valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to the exact tolerance set by the manufacturer. It is fitted within the valve train assembly to manage the gap between the cam profile and the valve, ensuring that the valve seats fully during every engine cycle. This specific 2.60 mm thickness is critical for maintaining optimal combustion and engine timing.Compatible engines and vehicle models
This shim is designed for use in Volvo trucks including the FM series, FH series, VNL, VHD, and NH12 models. It is compatible with various engine configurations such as the D12C, D12D, D16C, D10A, and Renault Trucks Magnum with DXi12 engines. The component provides a reliable solution for maintaining engine performance across these heavy-duty applications.Installation and maintenance guidance
For optimal results, technicians should ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated before installation to prevent scoring upon initial start-up. It is essential to measure each valve individually using a micrometer to confirm the required grade, as dimensions must be exact to prevent compression loss or excessive play in the rocker arm assembly.Troubleshooting and selection
Regular inspection of valve clearances at manufacturer-recommended intervals helps prevent premature wear of the contact surfaces. Always verify that the shim diameter matches the seat dimensions to avoid side loading on the valve stem.OE cross-reference
1300 05 013 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547979.Other OEMs
