Product Overview

Valve timing depends on the camshaft opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves in the intended sequence. This 3406 Camshaft is supplied for compatible Caterpillar diesel engine applications where the listed reference and physical configuration match the component.

During engine repair, correct camshaft selection helps ensure compatibility with the bearings, timing drive, and surrounding valve-train components. Similar-looking camshafts are not always interchangeable.

Why This Part Matters

The camshaft works together with the timing drive and valve train. Its journals must fit the supporting bearings correctly, while the lobe arrangement must correspond to the engine design. For this reason, accurate reference-number matching is more reliable than selecting only by visual similarity.

Before installation, check the condition of the mating bearings and timing components. Correct lubrication during assembly is also important for the first stage of operation after repair.
