description

It is forged from high-strength alloy steel with induction hardened cam lobes for excellent wear and impact resistance. Designed for large Cat wheel loaders, it actuates intake and exhaust valves and coordinates electronic fuel injection timing. Loaders face frequent start-stop and bucket impact loads which demand reliable fatigue resistance. It is widely used for maintenance at quarries, aggregate yards and mine transfer sites in Southeast Asia and Middle East.

Maintenance & Replacement Tips

Mark crankshaft and cam gear timing marks before disassembly. Loader engines work under fluctuating heavy loads, incorrect timing easily causes valve-to-piston collision. Replace hydraulic lifters, cam bearings and oil seals together with the camshaft. Lubricate lobes and journals fully with recommended engine oil during assembly. Rotate crankshaft manually twice to check binding. Monitor oil pressure, abnormal noise and exhaust smoke during commissioning.

FAQ 

Q: Can 344-9038 fit other loader models?
A: Cross-model fitment is not recommended. This part is dedicated to 980GC/980/982. Cam lift and timing curve differ from other loader engines.

Q: How many 344-9038 camshafts does one 980GC loader need?
A: The matched engine is inline type, only one 344-9038 camshaft is required per machine.

Q: Can the camshaft with tiny pits on cam lobes still be installed?
A: Installation is not advised. Loaders run under frequent impact loads. Pits will expand rapidly and lead to cam spalling and power loss.
