description

This reman camshaft follows Cat Reman rebuilding standard, including liquid penetrant inspection, straightening correction, cam profile fine grinding and hardness verification. It drives valve train components with dedicated cam lift curve to control valve timing precisely and stabilize combustion and power output of C13 engine. It is made of tough forged alloy steel, cam lobes are re-hardened by induction treatment, journals reground to OEM tolerance. It is designed for medium cyclic load operation, not interchangeable with C11 or C15 camshafts. Verify engine serial number before ordering.

Maintenance & Replacement Tips

1. When replacing the camshaft, also inspect the tappets, pushrods, and valve springs to prevent premature scoring of the new cam lobes.
2. Clear all internal oil passages within the engine block before assembly; apply the specified grade of engine oil to the cam lobes and journals for pre-lubrication.
3. Strictly follow the C13 service manual to calibrate the valve timing; any deviation in timing can lead to abnormal noise, loss of power, or valve-to-piston/component contact.
4. After assembly, manually rotate the engine to ensure there is no binding or resistance; verify that oil pressure has stabilized before starting the engine for a test run.
