Nitrided Camshaft Option

The nitrided option is a German-made billet steel camshaft supplied by HEwerk in Germany. It is a hardened steel camshaft. The picture below shows the nitrided option.

The forged steel camshaft has undergone a nitriding process, which adds an extra layer of durability. If you do not see this option, it is likely that we are temporarily out of stock.

Please keep in mind that, no matter how good the quality of the camshaft is, leaking injector hubs and seals can allow diesel to enter the engine oil. Please read the bottom of the page.

Nitriding is a hardening process that hardens the outer layer of the material. During this process, the colour of the camshaft changes to dark grey or black.
