description

This 389-0245 camshaft is integrally forged from high-purity alloy steel. Cam profiles are precision ground to OEM lift curve for C18 engine with deep carburizing quenching. It synchronizes intake, exhaust and fuel injection timing, fixing power loss, high exhaust temperature, valve noise and rough idle. It performs steadily under continuous full-load mining conditions, serving as a bare shaft overhaul part for C18 high-power engines.

FAQ 

Q:Can 389-0245 interchange directly with C15 camshaft?
A:Interchange is not allowed. Different lift curve and shaft length will cause valve damage and power failure.

Q:Can the camshaft be reused after light journal scratches are polished and measured?
A:It can be used temporarily if dimension stays within tolerance. Deep grooves require replacement to avoid bearing seizure.

Q:How to protect this long camshaft during storage?
A:Hang vertically, apply anti-rust oil, cover with dust film and avoid horizontal bending pressure.

Q:Is oil and filter change recommended while replacing camshaft?
A:New engine oil and filter are recommended to protect new cam lobes from metal debris.
