description

This camshaft is designed for large-bore Cat engines. It is forged steel with 3 cam lobes, hardened cam surfaces and precision honed journals. Lobe lift, duration and timing comply with OEM specifications for 3600 and C280 series. It is used on stationary generator and marine propulsion units. It repairs lobe pitting, spalling, journal scoring and timing deviation, maintains stable high power output and reduces rough idle, power loss and high fuel consumption.

Product Advantages

1. Features a specialized 3-lobe cam profile, with timing parameters precisely matched for 3600/C280 large-bore engine models, ensuring accurate valve opening and closing sequences.
2. Constructed from forged steel with surface hardening; offers high fatigue resistance and impact toughness, suitable for continuous, heavy-duty 24-hour operation.
3. Designed with high-rigidity journals; each shaft undergoes rigorous inspection for runout and concentricity to minimize uneven bushing wear and abnormal timing-related noise.
4. Oil passages are precisely aligned with the cylinder head oil channels, ensuring consistent, reliable lubrication and reducing the risk of bearing seizure or “freezing.”
5. Available as an individual component, allowing for targeted replacement and flexible cost management during major overhauls.

FAQ 

Q: Can 176-3213 interchange with 170-9199?
A: Both are 3-lobe camshafts for 3600 / C280, verify engine serial range.

Q: Can it fit C15 or C18?
A: No. Bore size, lobe profile and journal dimensions are completely different.

Q: Does timing gear come with this shaft?
A: Timing gear and bearings are sold separately.
