Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This 3.20 mm valve adjusting shim serves as a precision-ground spacer designed to bring valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to the exact tolerances required by the manufacturer. It is situated within the valve train assembly to ensure the valve seats fully during every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face from premature wear.Compatible vehicles and engines
This specific thickness is compatible with several Volvo engine series, including the FH16 (D16C), VHD (D12), FM10 (D10A), FH12 (D12D, D12C), FM12 (D12D, D12C), NH12 (D12C), and VNL (D12) engines. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks Magnum models with DXi12 engines. For accurate fitment, always cross-reference the dimensions of the removed component.Installation and maintenance
When performing engine maintenance, it is vital to measure each valve individually rather than assuming uniform clearance across all cylinders. Ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated before installation to prevent scoring during the first start-up. Always verify the clearance after assembly and consider renewing the rocker cover gasket during the same service interval.Selection and troubleshooting
Proper selection of this 3.20 mm shim helps maintain engine timing and prevents side loading on the valve stems. Using high-strength components ensures durability under continuous impact loading within the cylinder head.OE cross-reference
1300 05 025 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1677353.Other OEMs

FAQ
What is the function of a 3.20 mm valve adjusting shim?
It acts as a precision spacer in the valve train to set specific valve clearances, ensuring proper engine timing and full valve seating for heavy commercial diesel engines.
Which Volvo engines are compatible with this shim?
This shim is compatible with various Volvo engines including FH16 (D16C), VHD (D12), FM10 (D10A), FH12/FM12 (D12 series), NH12, and VNL (D12) models.
Can I sand or grind a used shim to adjust clearance?
No, you should never grind a shim as it removes the hardened surface layer. Always install a new, ready-made shim of the correct thickness to maintain component integrity.
How do I know if my engine requires this specific thickness?
Compatibility should be confirmed by measuring the existing shim or cross-referencing the OE part number of the cylinder head to ensure exact dimensional match.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 025 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1677353.
