346-7515 Camshaft Lifter — Cat 3508 3512

This is a camshaft lifter, also known as a tappet, which rides on the camshaft lobe and transmits its motion to the valve train, opening and closing the engine valves. Manufactured to precise tolerances, it ensures consistent valve timing and operation, unlike a worn lifter that can cause noisy operation and improper valve lift. Observable symptoms include ticking or knocking sounds from the engine, rough idling, and a loss of engine power.

Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

The most common initial symptom of a worn camshaft lifter is an audible ticking or tapping noise from the engine, particularly noticeable at idle. If ignored, this noise can become louder, and the lifter may fail to properly actuate the valve, leading to reduced engine performance and potential damage to the camshaft. Continued operation with a faulty lifter risks uneven valve operation, impacting compression and overall engine health.

Installation Tip

Ensure the camshaft and lifter surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and lubricated with assembly lube before installation. Avoid rotating the camshaft until all lifters are properly seated to prevent damage.

Service Note

Inspect the camshaft lobes and valve springs for wear or damage when replacing camshaft lifters.
