Description
This valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground component designed to bring valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines back to the manufacturer's specified tolerance. It functions within the valve train by sitting between the rocker arm, cam follower, or valve stem to ensure the valve seats fully during every engine cycle. Maintaining correct clearance is vital for preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face.
These shims are compatible with various Volvo engines such as the D12C, D12D, D16C, D10A, and VNL/VHD series, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum engines like the DXi12. For optimal performance in heavy-duty applications, it is essential to select the correct thickness based on the specific engine code used in the vehicle.
When performing engine maintenance or top-end overhauls, technicians should verify the thickness of the existing shim before installation. Precision is critical; even minor deviations can lead to improper valve timing or excessive wear on the cam profile. Always ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain the integrity of the adjustment.
Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine series.

FAQ
What is the function of a valve adjusting shim?
A valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground spacer used to set the exact valve clearance in diesel engines. It ensures that valves open and close at the correct intervals to maintain proper compression.
Which engines are these shims compatible with?
These components are designed for various heavy commercial vehicle engines, including Volvo D10A, D12 series, and D16C, as well as Renault Trucks DXi12 engines.
How can I ensure I am selecting the correct thickness?
Because dimensions vary by engine code even within the same model series, it is best to cross-reference the thickness of the removed shim or check against the specific engine's service requirements.
What happens if the valve clearance is incorrect?
Incorrect clearance due to improper shims can lead to significant compression loss, increased engine noise, and potential damage to the valve seating faces or cam followers.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 050 directly replaces Volvo OE number 85111158.
