Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This precision-ground valve adjusting shim serves as a critical component within the engine valve train, specifically designed to maintain precise valve clearance. By providing an exact thickness of 3.80 mm, it ensures that the valve seats fully during every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face from premature wear.Engine compatibility and fitment
This specific shim is compatible with various Volvo engines, including the D16C, D12D, D12C, D10A, and D12 models found in FH16, FH12, NH12, FM12, FM10, VHD, and VNL series. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks Magnum engines with DXi12 specifications. Each shim is manufactured to withstand continuous impact loading from the cam follower.Installation and maintenance guidance
For optimal engine performance, technicians should measure each valve individually rather than assuming uniformity across cylinders. When installing this shim, ensure the seat is clean and lightly lubricated to prevent scoring during the initial start-up. It is essential to verify all clearances after assembly before sealing the cylinder head.Troubleshooting and selection
Maintaining correct valve lash is vital for fuel efficiency and engine longevity. If you notice irregular combustion or increased noise, consult your authorized distributor to check the compatibility list.OE cross-reference
