Detailed Description

Melling MC1316 is a stock replacement engine camshaft developed for applications that need a factory-style profile rather than an aggressive performance grind. The hydraulic roller cam type, 1.7 rocker arm ratio, and published lift and duration figures make it a direct choice for restoring original engine behavior in Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans, and chassis-cab applications. This part number MC1316 is listed for OE stock replacement use and is engineered to meet the requirements of the original engine calibration.

For buyers searching for a Chevrolet C2500 camshaft, GMC K3500 camshaft, or a stock replacement camshaft for Chevrolet Express 3500 and related platforms, this Melling part number MC1316 provides a fitment-focused solution. It is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 12552296 and CS-1583 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Worn cam lobes that reduce valve lift and engine performance.
• Rough idle caused by an aging stock camshaft profile.
• Loss of torque from a camshaft that no longer matches factory specifications.
• Engine management concerns in computer-controlled applications using the wrong cam profile.
• Restoration needs for OE-style valvetrain service on high-mileage engines.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, valvetrain configuration, and computer-controlled compatibility before installation. Match the camshaft to the intended OE stock replacement grind and confirm all timing components are in serviceable condition during replacement. Because this is a hydraulic roller camshaft, proper setup of the valvetrain and related components is important for correct operation.
