Compatibility and Installation

The Hamilton Cams 07-CC-24V188 Hot Street 188/220 Camshaft Combo is compatible with 1998.5-2018 Dodge Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L engines. For drop-in installation, ensure that piston protrusion does not exceed 0.018" and valve face depth is at least 0.038" with a standard head gasket. Engines outside these specifications may require an oversized head gasket or valve reliefs. Always verify clearances during installation to ensure proper fitment.

Break-In Procedure

To ensure proper camshaft break-in and long-term durability, apply assembly lube generously to the camshaft lobes and journals. Prime the oil system to achieve immediate oil pressure upon startup. After starting, run the engine at 1,200-1,500 RPM for five minutes, then shut it down to adjust valves. Follow this with an oil change to remove contaminants from the break-in process.
