Looking for a reliable replacement for the Nissan Z24 2.4L valvetrain? This camshaft (OEM: 13001-17C80) is a high-precision component specifically engineered for the Nissan Hardbody (D21), Pathfinder (WD21), and Nissan 720. Manufactured with induction-hardened lobes and micro-polished journals, it effectively resolves chronic lobe flattening and valvetrain ticking common in aging Z24 engines. View full Nissan Camshaft catalog. In stock for global wholesale supply.
The Nissan Z24 2.4L 8-valve SOHC engine is a legendary workhorse, providing the rugged power behind iconic vehicles like the Nissan Hardbody (D21) and the first-generation Pathfinder (WD21). While the bottom end of the Z24 is notoriously durable, decades of high-mileage operation inevitably take a toll on the engine’s overhead valvetrain.
A frequent failure mode encountered by engine rebuilders is severe camshaft lobe wear. Due to top-end oil starvation or degraded lubrication over time, the metal-on-metal friction between the camshaft lobes and the rocker arms causes the lobes to flatten. This results in the infamous Z24 valvetrain “ticking” noise, loss of valve lift, and sluggish engine performance. Ruich Value supplies premium aftermarket Z24 camshafts cast from high-grade iron alloys. Featuring induction-hardened lobes (HRC 45-55), our camshafts resist aggressive friction, restoring exact factory valve timing and breathing new life into these classic workhorses.

Lobe flattening in the Z24 engine is primarily caused by top-end oil starvation and dirty oil. Because the camshaft is located high in the cylinder head, it is vulnerable to low oil pressure or clogged oil galleys. Additionally, if the infamous Z24 timing chain guides fail, plastic and metal debris can circulate in the oil, accelerating wear on the cam journals and lobes. Our induction-hardened lobes are designed to maximize resistance against this metal-on-metal friction.
No, it is not. While both the Z24 and the KA24E are 2.4L SOHC Nissan engines often found in the Hardbody D21, they are entirely different architectures. The Z24 is an 8-valve engine with crossflow (or specialized spark plug) configurations, while the KA24E is a 12-valve engine. This camshaft (OEM 13001-17C80) is strictly for the 8-valve Z24. Always verify your engine block code before ordering.
To ensure a successful rebuild, never install a new camshaft against worn valvetrain components. You must inspect and replace the rocker arms and rocker shafts if they show any scoring. Furthermore, we highly recommend installing a new timing chain kit (including chains, tensioners, and guides) and a new front camshaft oil seal to prevent timing synchronization issues and oil leaks.
