This is a camshaft, a critical rotating shaft with lobes that operate the engine's intake and exhaust valves, controlling airflow into and out of the combustion chambers. Manufactured from hardened steel to precise specifications, it ensures accurate valve timing and lift, unlike a worn camshaft with rounded lobes. Operators may experience a significant loss of engine power, rough idling, or difficulty starting if the camshaft lobes are excessively worn or broken.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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.
Initial signs of a worn camshaft include a noticeable decrease in engine power and a rougher idle. As wear progresses, valve timing becomes erratic, leading to poor fuel economy and potential exhaust system issues. If left unaddressed, severe lobe wear can cause valves to stick open or closed, leading to significant engine damage.
Thoroughly clean the engine block's camshaft bearing journals before installation to prevent scoring of the new camshaft. Ensure the camshaft is properly lubricated with assembly lube on all bearing surfaces and lobes before insertion.
Inspect the valve lifters, camshaft timing gears, and cylinder head for any signs of wear or damage when replacing the camshaft.
