# 20708824 Camshaft | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A genuine camshaft for the Volvo Penta TAD950VE D9 engine family. Its precision-ground lobes control the valve timing and lift sequence while the journals run in the matched D9 camshaft-bearing arrangement.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD952VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD951VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD950VE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Precision-ground lobe profile for the TAD950VE valve-timing sequence
-   Hardened journals operate with the specified D9 bearing housings and bearing kits
-   Drive end matches the TAD950VE camshaft gear and timing arrangement
-   Oil drillings and surface finish support journal lubrication
-   Valve timing must be set using the correct Volvo Penta procedure
-   Inspect tappets, rocker components and bearing housings whenever camshaft wear is found

## 🔌 Function

Controls inlet and exhaust valve opening, closing, lift and timing through the engine valve train.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Abnormal valve-train noise develops
-   Engine power falls or running becomes uneven
-   Cam lobes or journals are pitted, scored or worn
-   Metal debris appears in the lubricating oil
-   Valve timing or engine-braking performance becomes incorrect

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Oil the journals and lobes before fitting and lower the shaft in squarely, without dragging it across the bearings or bearing bores
-   Inspect the parts that run with it as a set — followers or rockers, bearings and the drive gear — and renew anything worn; a new camshaft on worn followers will not last
-   Line up the gear timing marks and check valve timing before turning the engine over, and never force it against resistance
-   Tighten bearing caps and drive gear fixings in the sequence and to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Prime the oil system and turn the engine through by hand for a full cycle before starting, then keep the first period of running gentle
