description

This 338-0649 front camshaft is integrally forged from premium alloy steel. The cam lift and timing angle are calibrated exclusively for front cylinder bank. Deep carburizing and quenching on cam surface delivers great anti-fatigue and wear resistance. On dual-camshaft engines, it works with rear camshaft to synchronize air exchange and fuel injection for front cylinders, fixing misfire, power loss and timing deviation of front cylinders, suitable for heavy-duty machinery running continuously in dusty sites.
