What does a worn camshaft affect on my Jeep Wrangler?

A worn camshaft can lead to a noticeable loss of engine power and performance. The lobes on the camshaft wear down over time, affecting valve timing and lift, which directly impacts how efficiently your engine breathes and produces power.

Does this camshaft come with everything needed for installation?

This listing is for the camshaft itself. For a complete engine rebuild, Omix recommends using their timing chain kit, part number 17452.03, which is sold separately.

What is the warranty on this Omix camshaft?

This Omix camshaft comes with a limited 5-year warranty from the manufacturer, offering peace of mind for your engine rebuild project.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ with the 2.5 liter engine, a worn camshaft can rob you of power. Over time, internal engine parts like camshaft lobes naturally wear down, impacting how your engine performs. This Omix replacement camshaft is made to original equipment specifications, meaning it's built to fit and function just like the factory part did when your Jeep was new.

This camshaft is a direct fit replacement, designed to restore the performance lost due to wear on the camshaft lobes and other internal engine components. Omix offers these parts to help you get your Jeep's engine back to its original operating condition. For a complete engine rebuild, consider pairing this camshaft with a timing chain kit, like Omix part number 17452.03.
