Left Inlet Camshaft for Mercedes C300 C350 E350 SLK350 ML350 3.5L M276 2012-2016

Left Inlet Camshaft for Mercedes

This left inlet camshaft is an engine valvetrain component manufactured to fit 3.5L M276 applications, and it drives the intake valves on the left cylinder bank to keep combustion timing consistent.

Overview

This left inlet camshaft is built to fit Mercedes 3.5L M276 engines and controls intake valve lift and duration on the left bank. As a valvetrain component, the camshaft works to restore proper valve timing on engines that have suffered lobe or journal wear. It is aimed at owners and technicians handling valvetrain repair on compatible C300, C350, E350, SLK350, and ML350 models from 2012 through 2016.

Built For Performance

• Machined lobes and journals for consistent valve lift across the RPM range
• Constructed from hardened steel to resist wear at the cam lobes
• Indexed to the M276 3.5L engine layout for correct left-bank intake timing
• Direct-fit replacement geometry for the intended engine family
• Designed as an inlet camshaft, keeping intake and exhaust functions distinct

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does the camshaft come with bearings or caps? A: No, camshafts are typically supplied as the shaft alone, so reuse or replace the bearings and caps as your service manual specifies.

Q: Can this be installed without retiming the engine? A: No, the timing must be reset to factory marks during installation, so this job calls for the correct timing tools and procedure.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
