FAQs
What does a camshaft kit include?
A camshaft kit may include a camshaft, lifters, timing components, valve springs, pushrods, gaskets, rocker arms, hardware, or other related valvetrain parts. The exact contents depend on the vehicle and engine application.
When should I replace a camshaft kit?
A camshaft kit may be needed when the engine has lifter ticking noise, worn cam lobes, rough idle, misfires, loss of power, timing-related issues, or valvetrain wear. A mechanic should inspect the engine before replacement.
Is a camshaft and lifter kit better than replacing only the camshaft?
In many repairs, replacing the camshaft and lifters together is recommended because worn lifters can damage a new camshaft, and a worn camshaft can also affect lifter operation. A matched kit helps reduce the risk of repeated repair work.
Will this fix HEMI lifter tick?
A camshaft and lifter kit may help repair HEMI lifter tick if the noise is caused by worn lifters, camshaft wear, or related valvetrain damage. The exact cause should be confirmed before ordering.
Do I need an MDS or Non-MDS camshaft kit?
It depends on your engine configuration. Some Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Chrysler HEMI engines use MDS, while others require Non-MDS components. Always confirm your vehicle year, model, engine size, and MDS configuration before purchase.
Will a camshaft kit improve engine performance?
A new camshaft kit can help restore valve timing accuracy, reduce valvetrain noise, improve throttle response, and support smoother engine operation. Performance results depend on the engine condition and the specific camshaft profile.
Are SUSUCAR camshaft kits OEM parts?
No. SUSUCAR camshaft kits are high-quality aftermarket replacement parts designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. They are not original factory OEM parts.
How do I know if a camshaft kit fits my vehicle?
Check the fitment information on the product page, including year, make, model, engine size, and configuration notes. If you are unsure, send your vehicle information to SUSUCAR support before ordering.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Camshaft replacement requires correct timing alignment, proper torque procedures, and inspection of related engine parts. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
What should be checked during camshaft replacement?
During installation, it is important to inspect lifters, timing components, oil passages, valve springs, pushrods, gaskets, and related hardware. Worn supporting parts can affect repair results.
