Camshaft replacement

Camshaft replacement

The camshaft is located in the cylinder head. By means of an eccentric system of rotating lobes, the camshaft converts the rotating motion into the reciprocating motion opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves. The camshaft may require replacing if the lobes crack or wear to such an extent that they are prevented from properly controlling the valves.

Tips

  • Damage to, seizure or cracking of the camshaft usually result from insufficient lubrication
  • If you change the engine oil and filter regularly, you will extend the useful life of all engine components by ensuring their proper lubrication
