Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground spacer designed to maintain the exact valve clearance required for heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines. By sitting between the rocker arm or cam follower and the valve, it ensures the valve seats fully and correctly during every engine cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face.Vehicle and engine compatibility
This specific shim is compatible with Volvo FM12 trucks equipped with D12D engines. For accurate fitment, technicians should verify the thickness against the removed component or the specific engine code, as dimensions are critical for maintaining proper valve lash in these heavy-duty applications.Installation and maintenance
During installation, ensure the shim seat is completely clean and lightly lubricated to prevent scoring upon first start-up. It is essential to measure each valve individually during maintenance intervals to ensure each cylinder maintains its specified clearance, preventing rapid wear of the contact surfaces.Maintenance best practices
Regularly checking clearances according to manufacturer intervals helps prevent premature engine wear and maintains optimal combustion efficiency in the engine's valve train.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
