Hamilton Cams 07-C-188/220S Steel Camshaft

The Hamilton Cams 07-C-188/220S Steel Camshaft is designed to optimize the performance of 1989-2018 Dodge Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L engines. This camshaft enhances mid-range power, reduces exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and provides exceptional durability, making it ideal for towing, stock pulling, and high-performance applications like drag racing.

Detailed Product Description

Optimized Camshaft Profile

With a duration of 188° intake and 220° exhaust at 0.050" lift, the camshaft improves airflow and combustion efficiency. It delivers quicker turbo spool-up and strong mid-range torque, ensuring smooth and powerful performance within the 1,700-4,500 RPM range.

Durable Steel Construction

This camshaft is crafted from high-quality steel for enhanced durability and strength. Its robust construction withstands the demands of high-stress applications, offering reliability for engines with heavy workloads or performance modifications.

Performance Benefits

This camshaft significantly reduces EGTs by 200-300°F, extending engine longevity under heavy load or high-performance conditions. Additionally, it provides enhanced mid-range power, making it ideal for both daily driving and competitive use.

Compatibility and Installation

The Hamilton Cams 07-C-188/220S Steel Camshaft is compatible with 1989-2018 Dodge Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L engines. For 12V engines, piston protrusion should not exceed 0.018", and valve face depth should be at least 0.055" with a standard head gasket. For 24V engines, the piston protrusion limit is 0.018", and valve face depth should be at least 0.038". Engines using the steel camshaft require at least two bushings in the cam tunnel to prevent wear. New lifters are strongly recommended for optimal integration and longevity.

Break-In Procedure

To ensure proper break-in, apply assembly lube generously to the camshaft lobes and journals. Prime the oil pump and oil filter to ensure immediate oil pressure at startup. After reaching operating temperature, adjust the valves and complete an oil change to remove contaminants from the break-in process.
