Product Description
CUMMINS 3802355 OEM INTAKE VALVE – 5.9L 12V (1989–1998)
The genuine CUMMINS 3802355 OEM intake valve is engineered to deliver factory-correct airflow, sealing, and durability for all 1989–1998 5.9L 12-valve Cummins engines. Whether you’re refreshing a high-mileage 6BT, rebuilding a performance street truck, or restoring a workhorse Ram, this intake valve delivers the exact metallurgy, stem precision, and face geometry specified by Cummins.

HOW MANY INTAKE VALVES DOES A 12V CUMMINS USE?
The 5.9L 12-valve Cummins uses six intake valves and six exhaust valves.
