17477983 Shim — Volvo FH12 FH16

This shim is a precision-engineered component used to adjust clearances and maintain proper alignment within engine assemblies, ensuring optimal performance and reducing wear. Manufactured to exact Volvo specifications, it provides consistent thickness and hardness, unlike a worn or damaged shim that can lead to misalignment and increased component stress. Symptoms of incorrect shim placement or wear include abnormal engine noises, reduced power output, or increased oil consumption.

Failure Symptoms

Incorrect shim thickness or wear can initially manifest as a slight ticking or knocking sound from the engine, or a subtle loss of engine power. If not corrected, improper clearances can lead to accelerated wear on camshafts, bearings, or valve train components, potentially causing significant internal engine damage. Continued operation with incorrect clearances risks severe engine component failure.

Installation Tip

Ensure the shim and the mating surfaces are meticulously clean and free of any oil or debris before placement. Never reuse a shim that has been deformed or shows signs of wear.

Service Note

When adjusting engine clearances with shims, inspect the associated components (e.g., camshaft lobes, bearing surfaces) for wear or damage.
