The Nissan RD28 engine camshaft (OEM: 13001-22J00) is a high-precision component engineered for Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61 (GQ/GU) SUVs and Laurel (C32/C33) commercial/passenger vehicles. Manufactured with induction-hardened lobes and precision-ground journals, it directly resolves chronic valvetrain wear and oil starvation scoring. View full Nissan Camshaft catalog. In stock for global wholesale export.
The Nissan RD28 2.8L inline-six diesel engine (and its turbocharged variant, the RD28T) is widely utilized in iconic 4×4 vehicles like the Nissan Patrol Y60 (GQ) and various passenger models such as the Nissan Laurel and Cedric. However, as an overhead camshaft (OHC) design, the valvetrain is highly susceptible to high-mileage friction and lubrication degradation.
A frequent failure point in aging RD28 engines is the premature wear of camshaft lobes and scoring of the bearing journals. This wear severely alters valve lift and timing, resulting in loud tapping noises, loss of compression, and significantly reduced engine power. Ruich Value’s replacement RD28 camshaft is manufactured from premium cast iron alloy with induction-hardened lobes (HRC 45-55). This advanced surface treatment drastically increases wear resistance against the tappets, ensuring precise valve actuation and restoring the engine’s factory performance.

Lobe flattening in the RD28 is predominantly caused by lubrication starvation and oil degradation. Because the camshaft sits at the very top of the engine (OHC), it is the last component to receive oil pressure upon startup. Over time, contaminated oil or weakened oil pumps cause metal-on-metal friction between the cam lobes and hydraulic lifters (tappets). Our induction-hardened lobes are specifically engineered to withstand these harsh friction cycles.
Yes. The OEM part number 13001-22J00 is the standard camshaft utilized across the 2.8L RD28 naturally aspirated and RD28T turbocharged platforms, specifically in the Nissan Patrol Y60 (GQ) and Laurel models. It shares the identical valve lift and duration profile required for both combustion setups. Please cross-reference your specific engine year with our technical team to ensure absolute accuracy.
Never install a new camshaft against worn mating surfaces. To prevent immediate destruction of the new lobes, you must install a complete set of new hydraulic lifters (cam followers/tappets). Additionally, a new front camshaft oil seal and a fresh timing belt/tensioner kit are mandatory to ensure the valvetrain remains synchronized and leak-free.
