Reviving the Legend: Nissan Z24 Camshaft Replacement

The Nissan Z24 (NAPS-Z) 2.4L engine is the heartbeat of the iconic “Hardbody” D21 and 720 series pickups, vehicles celebrated globally for their unbreakable durability. However, after decades of service, the original camshaft lobes often succumb to surface wear and pitting from rocker arm friction. This wear disrupts valve timing, leading to a loss of low-end torque, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency. To keep these classic workhorses on the road, a high-fidelity replacement camshaft is essential.

Ruich Value manufactures this aftermarket camshaft specifically for the Z24 and Z24i engines. We utilize a chilled cast iron manufacturing process that hardens the cam lobes to withstand the rigorous contact stress of the SOHC valve train. By strictly adhering to the original lift and duration profiles of the 13001-17C80 specification, our camshafts ensure that your vintage Nissan retains the smooth power delivery and reliability that made it a legend in the first place.
