Camshaft – GM (12609713)

Camshaft is a rotating or reciprocating member in the valvetrain or bottom end. It is ground to a specific journal size and, in the case of a camshaft, to a specific lift and duration profile.

Replace the Camshaft when you find scoring on a journal, when the lobe or bearing surface is worn below specification, or when the engine is apart for another failure. Measure the journals before ordering, because undersize parts exist.

For this Camshaft the reference is 12609713, in our Camshafts & Timing range. Compare it with the number on the part you are replacing rather than with a photograph.

Genuine GM supplied for this Camshaft, with the engineering number unchanged from the factory reference stamped on the original.
