Description

This precision-ground shim is a critical component within the engine valve train, designed to maintain the exact valve clearance required for optimal combustion cycles. By providing a specific thickness between the cam follower and the valve, it ensures the valve seats fully and prevents compression loss in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines.

This specific 3.40 mm thickness is compatible with several high-performance engine configurations, including Volvo FM12, FH12, FH16, VHD, NH12, and VNL models featuring D12C, D12D, D16C, and D10A engines. It is also suitable for Renault Trucks Magnum engines equipped with the DXi12 series.

When performing engine maintenance, technicians should ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated before installation to prevent scoring on first start-up. It is essential to verify clearances after assembly to ensure all valves meet the manufacturer's specifications for the specific engine code.

Consult your authorized distributor to check the compatibility list.
