Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This valve adjusting shim is a precision-engineered component designed to maintain correct valve clearance within heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines. By providing a specific thickness, it ensures the gap between the cam follower and the valve remains within manufacturer tolerances, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face from premature wear.Compatible Volvo engines and models
This specific 2.25 mm shim is compatible with several Volvo engine series, including the D10A, D12C, D12D, D16C, and various VNL, VHD, FH, FM, and NH models. It is also fitted to other heavy-duty diesel engines used in various transport applications. For exact fitment, always verify against the engine code or the original component's dimensions.Installation and maintenance guidance
To ensure long-term reliability, technicians should measure each valve individually and clean the shim seat thoroughly before installation. It is recommended to check valve clearances at manufacturer-specified intervals to prevent excessive wear on the rocker arm or cam follower surfaces. A dry installation should be avoided to prevent scoring upon engine start-up.Maintenance and troubleshooting
Proper maintenance of the valve train involves verifying all clearances after assembly and inspecting for signs of surface pitting or uneven wear on the old shims.OE cross-reference
1300 05 006 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547972.Other OEMs

FAQ
How do I ensure the correct shim thickness is selected?
The most reliable method is to cross-reference the thickness with the OE part number of the removed shim or by using a micrometer to measure the existing component accurately.
Which Volvo engines are compatible with this 2.25 mm shim?
This shim is designed for various Volvo engines including the D10A, D12C, D12D, D16C series found in FH, FM, NH, VNL, and VHD models.
What are the symptoms of incorrect valve clearance?
Incorrect clearance can lead to compression loss, increased engine noise, or excessive wear on the cam follower and valve seating faces.
Can I grind a used shim to adjust clearance?
No, you should never grind a shim as this removes the hardened layer; always replace with a ready-made shim of the correct grade.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 006 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547972.
