description

It is forged from alloy steel with deep induction hardened cam lobes, balancing shaft toughness and surface wear resistance. For C15 and C18 engines, this camshaft actuates valve train and works with the HEUI fuel system to optimize gas exchange across the full RPM range, which defines power delivery and combustion performance under heavy climbing loads. It matches 374F excavator, 986H/988H wheel loader, 735/740 articulated hauler, PL83/PL87 pipelayer and D8R/D8T dozer, well suited for continuous full-load mining operations in dusty Middle East and Africa sites.

Maintenance & Replacement Tips

Take photos of timing marks on crank and cam gear before disassembly. C15/C18 have tight valve lash tolerance, misalignment causes valve-to-piston collision. Inspect lifters, cam bearings, thrust washers and oil seals, replace scored parts. Lubricate lobes and journals fully with specified engine oil before fitting. Rotate crankshaft manually multiple times to confirm no valve interference. Run idle break-in first, then apply load gradually, monitor exhaust temperature, oil pressure and gear housing noise.

FAQ 

Q: Does 310-7612 fit both C15 and C18?
A: It is interchangeable for matched C15 and C18 ratings. Always verify engine serial number before ordering.

Q: How many 310-7612 camshafts does one C18 engine need?
A: C15 and C18 are inline engines, only one camshaft is installed per engine.

Q: Can worn journals be reused with new bearings?
A: It depends on wear measurement. If journals are out of tolerance, new bearings will not maintain proper oil clearance and bearing failure will follow quickly.
