FAQ

Q: How can I be sure this camshaft fits my Hitachi SH350-5 excavator?
A: The most reliable method is to remove your old camshaft and verify the part number stamped on it. If it reads 8-98233214-1 or 8982332141, this part is a direct replacement. You can also check your engine serial number; if it is a 6HK1 engine, this camshaft is the correct profile for the standard application.

Q: What are the signs of a worn camshaft that requires replacement?
A: Common symptoms include a rough or uneven engine idle, decreased engine power, excessive valve train noise (ticking or tapping sounds), and poor fuel economy. In severe cases, you may notice backfiring or a check engine light related to valve timing. If you observe these issues alongside your part number match, replacement is recommended.

Q: Do I need to replace any other parts when installing a new camshaft?
A: Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the camshaft bearings, oil seals, and tappets/lifters when installing a new camshaft. Old lifters have worn to the original cam profile and can cause premature failure of the new camshaft. We also recommend a fresh oil and filter change to remove any metal debris from the old, worn component.
