VALVE INTAKE 3802967 for Cummins Engines – High-Performance Intake Valve for Optimal
Combustion Efficiency This premium intake valve, model 3802967, is specifically engineered for Cummins engines and serves as a critical component in the internal combustion process. Designed to ensure precise airflow control, it allows the air-fuel mixture to enter the
Combustion Chamber at the correct timing and volume—ensuring maximum power output and fuel efficiency. As part of a dual-valve system alongside the exhaust valve, this intake valve plays an essential role in maintaining engine performance across various operating conditions. Key Features: - Precision-engineered for Cummins engine compatibility - Durable construction using high-grade alloy materials - Optimized valve lift and seating for reduced wear and enhanced longevity - Designed to work seamlessly with
Camshaft-driven valve actuation systems - Engineered for consistent thermal stability under high-load conditions Detailed Description: The intake valve (part number 3802967) functions in tandem with the exhaust valve to regulate gas exchange within the cylinder head. During the intake stroke, this valve opens precisely according to the camshaft profile, allowing a measured charge of air and fuel to flow into the combustion chamber. Its accurate timing and sealing capability prevent backflow or leakage, which could otherwise lead to misfires, reduced torque, or inefficient combustion. Unlike standard valves, this unit incorporates advanced heat-resistant coatings and hardened valve seats that improve durability in high-temperature environments typical of diesel engines. The integration of modern metallurgy ensures resistance to warping, erosion, and fatigue over extended service intervals. Whether used in heavy-duty trucks, industrial generators, or agricultural machinery powered by Cummins engines, this valve supports reliable operation under demanding conditions. Use Cases: Ideal for professional mechanics, fleet maintenance teams, and engine rebuilders working on Cummins-powered equipment such as Class 8 trucks, construction vehicles, marine propulsion units, and stationary power generators. This valve is particularly suited for applications where long-term reliability, consistent airflow management, and compliance with OEM specifications are paramount. Customer Feedback: Users report improved throttle response and smoother idling after installation. Many appreciate the ease of fitment compared to generic replacements and note fewer instances of valve seat wear over time. One mechanic noted: “This intake valve performs like original equipment—no hesitation, no noise, just clean combustion.” Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this intake valve different from aftermarket alternatives? It’s manufactured to meet or exceed Cummins OEM standards, featuring exact dimensional tolerances, material composition, and surface finish critical for optimal engine function. Is this valve compatible with all Cummins engines? It is designed for specific Cummins models listed in the technical documentation—always verify engine identification before installation. How often should I replace the intake valve? Under normal operating conditions, replacement is typically required every 150,000–200,000 miles or during major engine overhauls, depending on usage intensity and maintenance practices. Can this be installed without removing the cylinder head? While possible in some configurations, full access to the valve train usually requires partial disassembly for proper adjustment and sealing integrity.
