description

The 360-3197 is one-piece camshaft for inline four-cylinder C6.6 engine. It drives roller lifters to regulate valve opening and closing events. This electronic engine is equipped on medium earthmoving machines with variable load and frequent start-stop cycles. Lobe pitting, spalling or journal scoring leads to insufficient power, rough idle and high fuel consumption. Severe damage causes valve-to-piston contact and valve train failure. This camshaft is supplied without timing gear, and serviceable original gear can be reused for cost-effective overhaul.

Product Advantages

Provides a rigid connection between the crankshaft and the camshaft; manufactured to precise technical specifications and engineered for durability and reliability.
Case-hardened to a depth of 1.5–2.1 mm, ensuring high strength and wear resistance.

Applications:
Camshafts used in engines for machinery or heavy-duty vehicles. Widely applied in: Cat 3056 and 3056E engines; 550B, 560B, 564, and 574B feller bunchers; 924G, 928G, 930G, and IT28G wheel loaders; AP-600, AP-655C, BB-760, BG-2255C, CP-563E, CP-663E, CS-563E, CS-573E, CS-583E, CS-663E, CS-683E, PF-300B, and PS-300B asphalt paving equipment; CP-573E, CP-583E, and CS-563E compactors (rollers); M316C, M318C, and M322C excavators; and TR13 drive trains.

FAQ 

1. Does 360-3197 fit C6.4 engine?
No. C6.4 and C6.6 differ in cam lift, journal size and mounting spacing, non-interchangeable.

2. Can old gear with light tooth pitting stay in service?
Tooth pitting is fatigue damage and propagates under cyclic construction load, inspection and assessment are required.

3. Can the camshaft stay in service with minor scattered pitting and no cracks?
Isolated light pits can be monitored temporarily. Replace it if spalling develops to protect lifters.

4. What risk if I install new camshaft and reuse old lifters?
Mismatched contact surfaces accelerate lobe fatigue and spalling during break-in and lead to early failure.
