Description
A valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground steel spacer that brings valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to the tolerance set by the manufacturer.
This specific shim is compatible with Volvo FH12 trucks equipped with D12D engines. It functions within the valve train to ensure the valve seats fully on every cycle, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face. It is also fitted to other heavy commercial vehicle engines requiring precise thickness calibration.
For optimal performance, technicians should measure each valve individually during service intervals, as each may require a specific grade. When installing, ensure the shim seat is clean and lightly lubricated to prevent scoring marks on start-up. Always verify clearances before final assembly to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications.
Consult your authorized distributor.

FAQ
What is the function of a valve adjusting shim?
It acts as a precision spacer that brings the valve clearance in diesel engines back to the manufacturer's specified tolerance by adding measured thickness.
Which vehicles are these shims compatible with?
These shims are compatible with Volvo FH12 engines, specifically the D12D model, ensuring correct valve train timing and seating.
How should I install a new shim?
Clean the shim seat thoroughly and apply a light layer of oil before assembly to prevent scoring during the first engine start-up.
Why is it important to measure valves individually?
Each valve may require a different grade; assuming all cylinders share the same clearance can lead to improper engine timing and wear.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 014 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547980.
