Description
This valve adjusting shim functions as a precision-ground spacer within the engine's valve train, specifically designed to maintain the correct clearance between the cam follower and the valve. By providing a precise thickness, it ensures the valve seats fully during every cycle, which is critical for maintaining engine compression and timing accuracy in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines.
This specific shim is compatible with Volvo FM12 trucks equipped with D12C engines. It serves as a reliable replacement for components in high-load environments, helping to prevent premature wear on the rocker arm or valve stem. It is also fitted to other Volvo engines where this specific thickness is required.
For optimal results, technicians should measure each valve individually and clean the shim seat thoroughly before installation. It is recommended to lightly lubricate the shim during assembly to prevent scoring marks on start-up. Always verify clearances after installation and consider renewing the valve cover gasket to ensure system integrity.
Consult your authorized distributor.
