Description

What does a valve adjusting shim do?

This valve adjusting shim is a precision-ground component designed to bring valve clearance in heavy commercial vehicle diesel engines to the exact tolerance set by the manufacturer. It functions as a spacer within the valve train, ensuring the valve seats fully on every cycle to maintain optimal compression and engine timing.

Compatibility with Volvo FH16 engines

Specifically designed for Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines, this shim provides a reliable solution for maintaining engine performance. It is also fitted to other heavy commercial vehicle engines through precise dimension matching. Compatibility is confirmed by cross-referencing the OE part number of the removed shim or cylinder head.

Installation and maintenance guidance

During installation, it is critical to clean the shim seat and apply a light layer of oil before assembly to prevent scoring marks on start-up. Technicians should measure each valve individually, as each may require a different grade to achieve correct clearance. Always re-measure all clearances after adjustment before fitting the cover.

Troubleshooting and selection

Proper selection of this 3.00 mm shim helps prevent compression loss and protects the valve seating face from premature wear. For optimal engine longevity, ensure that all components in the rocker arm or cam follower assembly are inspected during the adjustment process.

OE cross-reference

1300 05 021 (Valve Adjusting Shim Engine Valve) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 1677349.
