description

The 144-0718 is pre-assembled camshaft group for 3406C engine, supplied with camshaft, timing gear, thrust washer and retaining hardware. It eliminates separate sourcing of drive components. This classic inline six-cylinder heavy-duty engine works under variable heavy loads on mines and construction sites. Its camshaft drives both valve train and mechanical fuel pump. Lobe pitting, spalling or journal scoring causes power loss, rough idle, high fuel consumption and smoke. Severe failure triggers valve-piston contact. The pre-built assembly is ideal for full overhaul to avoid mismatched timing components.

2. Dedicated cam profile for 3406C, synchronizing valve and fuel delivery timing for reliable heavy-load performance
3. One-piece forged blank with dense grain structure, resistant to cyclic shock for non-stop mining service
4. OEM drop-in size, compatible with original cylinder head bearing housing and oil circuit without modification

FAQ 

1. Does 144-0718 fit 3406E engine?
No. 3406C and 3406E differ in fuel system, cam lift and timing reference, non-interchangeable.

2. Can the included gear with light tooth pitting stay in service?
Tooth pitting is fatigue damage. Wear will accelerate rapidly under heavy mining load, continued use is not recommended.

3. Can the camshaft stay in service with scattered shallow pitting and no crack?
Light isolated pits can be monitored temporarily. Replace it if pitting spreads or spalling occurs to protect roller lifters.

4. What risk if I install this new cam group and reuse old lifters?
Mismatched contact surfaces will trigger rapid lobe pitting and spalling during break-in and lead to early failure.
