Description

What does a valve adjusting shim do?

A valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground spacer used in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to bring valve clearance to the exact tolerance set by the manufacturer. This component sits between the rocker arm, valve bridge, or cam follower and the valve, adding measured thickness to ensure the valve seats fully on every cycle.

Compatible Volvo and Renault Trucks engines

This specific 3.10 mm thickness is compatible with several Volvo engine series including the D12C, D16C, D12D, D12, D10A engines found in models such as the NH12, FH16, FH12, VNL, FM12, FM10, and VHD. It is also suitable for Renault Trucks Magnum equipped with DXi12 engines.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, always measure each valve individually to ensure specific clearance requirements are met. It is recommended to clean the shim seat and apply a light layer of oil before assembly to prevent scoring during the first start-up. Always verify all clearances after adjustment before reassembling the valve cover.

Selection and verification

Selecting the correct grade is critical to prevent compression loss or premature wear of the valve seating face. Consult your authorized distributor.

FAQ

What is the function of a valve adjusting shim?
It acts as a precision spacer that adjusts the clearance between the cam follower and the valve, ensuring the valve seats fully during each engine cycle.
Which engines are this 3.10 mm shim compatible with?
It is designed for Volvo engines like the D12C, D16C, D12D, D10A and Renault Trucks Magnum DXi12 engines.
Can I grind a shim to reach the required thickness?
No. Sanding or grinding a shim removes the hardened surface layer and reduces its lifespan; always use a ready-made shim of the correct grade.
How can I identify if a shim needs replacement?
If you notice unusual engine noise or loss of compression, it may indicate incorrect valve clearance caused by worn or incorrect shims.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 023 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1677351.
