Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
A valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground steel spacer that brings an engine's valve clearance to the value specified by the manufacturer. By adding a measured thickness into the mechanical chain between the cam and the valve, it ensures the valve closes fully on every cycle, preserving compression and protecting the valve seating face from burning.Compatible vehicles and engines
This specific shim is designed for use in Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines. It serves as a critical component within the engine valve train, maintaining the necessary clearance required for heavy-duty operation in commercial vehicle applications.Installation and maintenance
For proper installation, technicians should ensure that the shim thickness matches the manufacturer's requirements for the specific engine code. Maintaining correct clearance is vital to prevent side loading on the valve or premature wear of the cam follower due to incorrect gap settings.Selection guidance
Consult your authorized distributor to ensure this part meets your specific engine requirements.OE cross-reference
