343-2871 camshaft CAT engine spare part

Product Advantages

• Withstands mechanical stress, without compromising performance or safety
• Helps in controlling the valve timing, the camshaft optimizes the engine’s power output, fuel efficiency, and exhaust emissions

1. Uniform hardened layer by induction hardening, cam lobe resists impact and pitting
2. Strict concentricity control for journals, reduces uneven bearing wear and extends overhaul interval
3. Same cam lift and timing parameters as OEM, no extra timing adjustment after installation
4. Smooth oil passages guarantee stable lubrication and lower risk of shaft seizure under high temperature
5. Full inspection on runout, profile and hardness, suitable for bulk maintenance stock

FAQ 

Q：Can 343-2871 be interchanged with other camshaft part numbers?
A：Interchange is not allowed. Different cam lift and timing curve may cause power loss and valve damage.

Q：Can the camshaft be reused if journals have light scratches?
A：Light scratches can be polished and measured. Deep grooves require immediate replacement to avoid bearing failure.

Q：How to protect camshaft during storage?
A：Hang vertically, apply anti-rust oil, keep dust cover and avoid stacking heavy loads.

Q：What mistake is easy to make during timing assembly?
A：After aligning timing marks, valve lash still needs rechecking. Mark alignment does not guarantee correct clearance.
