The camshafts are responsible for opening and closing the valves in time with the movement of the pistons. Sometimes the lobes can become worn or scored, necessitating a replacement of the entire shaft. Performance options are also available with more aggressive cam profiles that allow increased lift and duration.
The camshaft has a critical job that impacts engine performance and efficiency. As the camshaft spins, the cam lobes open and close intake and exhaust valves, which is vital to the engine's operation. If the lobes become worn or damaged, the engine will suffer drastically. It is imperative to replace the camshaft when damaged or when wear occurs to prevent costly repair bills and to ensure the engine is operating smoothly and efficiently.
