17473321 Shim — Volvo FH12 FH16

This shim is a precision-engineered component used to maintain critical clearances within engine assemblies, ensuring proper alignment and function of moving parts. Manufactured to exact tolerances, it provides consistent spacing that a worn or damaged shim cannot replicate. Operators may notice increased engine noise, reduced power, or oil leaks when a shim fails to maintain its intended gap.

Failure Symptoms

The first indication of a shim issue might be an audible ticking or knocking sound from the engine. If unaddressed, this can lead to inconsistent valve timing and reduced engine power. Prolonged operation with incorrect clearances risks accelerated wear on camshafts and valve train components.

Installation Tip

Always clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installing a new shim to ensure a perfect seal and accurate clearance. Never reuse old shims, as they may be deformed and compromise engine tolerances.

Service Note

Inspect valve train components, including camshafts and valve seats, for wear when replacing engine shims.
