Continue reading HHP Spotlight: More on the Cummins ISXCummins has a history of producing strong, long-lasting diesel engines, including some of the most popular ones for on-highway applications. Two of their engines in particular, the N14 and the ISX, continue to remain popular diesel choices. So what make the two different from each other? Why did Cummins make the switch from the N14 to the ISX applications? In this article, we dive into the history and the differences between the engines.
Continue reading What’s the Difference Between the Cummins N14 and ISX?The Cummins ISX Dual Cam represents a significant advancement in diesel engine technology, featuring an innovative dual camshaft design that optimizes both intake and exhaust valve timing. This sophisticated system allows for precise control of valve events, resulting in improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced overall performance compared to traditional single-cam configurations. The dual cam setup enables independent control of intake and exhaust valve operations, providing engineers with greater flexibility in engine tuning and optimization.
Introduced as part of Cummins’ evolution beyond the legendary N14 engine, the ISX Dual Cam incorporates advanced electronic controls and precision engineering to meet increasingly stringent emission standards while maintaining the durability and reliability that Cummins engines are known for. The dual camshaft configuration requires specialized components and precise maintenance procedures, making quality replacement parts essential for optimal engine performance.
The complexity of the ISX Dual Cam system demands attention to specific components that are unique to this engine design. Critical parts include the dual camshafts themselves, cam followers, valve bridges, and the intricate timing mechanisms that coordinate the dual cam operation. Additionally, the electronic control systems that manage valve timing require specialized sensors and turbocharger actuators that must meet exact specifications for proper engine operation.
At Highway and Heavy Parts, we specialize in providing complete solutions for ISX Dual Cam maintenance and repair. Our cylinder heads are engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring proper fit and long-lasting performance. We also offer comprehensive engine rebuild kits that include all necessary gaskets, seals, and components for major engine rebuilds.
Our technical team understands the unique requirements of the ISX Dual Cam system and can help you identify the correct parts for your specific application. Whether you need routine maintenance items or major components for a complete engine rebuild, we stock quality parts that keep your ISX Dual Cam running efficiently and reliably.
