Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This precision-ground valve adjusting shim is engineered to bring valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines back to the manufacturer's specified tolerance. It functions as a critical component within the valve train, situated between the rocker arm, valve bridge, or cam follower and the valve, ensuring the valve seats fully during every combustion cycle.Compatible engines and vehicles
This specific 3.95 mm thickness is compatible with various heavy-duty engines, including Volvo VHD (D12), Volvo FH16 (D16C), Volvo FM10 (D10A), Renault Trucks Magnum (DXi12), Volvo VNL (D12), Volvo FH12/FM12 (D12D/D12C), and Volvo NH12 (D12C). Proper selection of the correct shim grade is essential to prevent compression loss and protect the valve seating face.Installation and maintenance
For maintenance, technicians should measure each valve individually to account for specific clearances and ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated before installation. It is vital to verify all clearances after assembly before closing the engine cover to ensure all tolerances are within the required limits.Selection and verification
