Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground component designed to maintain exact valve clearance within the engine's valve train. By providing a specific thickness, it ensures the valve seats fully on every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face from premature wear.Compatibility and fitment
This specific 2.20 mm shim is compatible with Volvo FM12 engines featuring the D12C engine code. It is an essential component for maintaining the precise tolerances required by the manufacturer to ensure reliable engine operation in heavy commercial vehicle applications.Installation and maintenance
When installing, ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated to prevent scoring marks during the first start-up. It is critical to measure each valve individually rather than assuming uniform clearance, as each cylinder may require a different grade to meet technical specifications.Troubleshooting and selection
Regularly checking valve clearance according to manufacturer intervals helps prevent rapid wear of contact surfaces and maintains engine efficiency.OE cross-reference
1300 05 005 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547971.Other OEMs
