Description
What does a valve adjusting shim do?
This precision-ground 2.80 mm shim serves as a critical component within the engine valve train of heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines. By acting as a spacer between the cam follower and the valve, it ensures that the valve clearance is maintained at the exact tolerance required by the manufacturer, preventing compression loss and protecting the valve seating face.Compatible Volvo engines and models
This specific 2.80 mm grade is compatible with several Volvo engine series, including the D12, D16C, D10A, D12D, and D12C engines used in Volvo VNL, VHD, FM10, FH12, FM12, FH16, and NH12 models. For precise fitment, it is essential to verify dimensions against the original OE part number to ensure the thickness matches the engine's specific requirements.Installation and maintenance guidance
When performing maintenance, technicians should measure each valve individually and clean the shim seat thoroughly before assembly. Applying a light layer of oil to the shim during installation helps prevent scoring marks on initial startup. It is recommended to re-verify all clearances after assembly to ensure the engine operates within specified parameters.Selection and verification
Selecting the correct thickness is vital to prevent excessive play or valve binding. Always consult your authorized distributor for exact compatibility verification based on your engine code.OE cross-reference

FAQ
How do I verify if this shim fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to cross-reference the OE part number from the removed shim or the cylinder head to ensure the thickness and diameter match your specific engine code.
Why is thickness precision so important for shims?
Precise thickness is critical because even slight deviations can lead to incorrect valve clearance, resulting in compression loss or accelerated wear on the cam follower.
Can I sand or grind a used shim to adjust clearance?
No, you should never grind a shim as this removes the hardened surface layer; always replace with a new shim of the correct grade to maintain durability.
What are common symptoms of incorrect valve clearance?
Incorrect clearance can lead to increased engine noise, loss of power due to poor compression, or rapid wear of the valve seating faces.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
1300 05 017 directly replaces Volvo OE number 1547983.
