## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta engine camshaft
-   Precision-ground cam lobes and bearing journals
-   Designed for TAD7 valve timing
-   Suitable for industrial and generating-set duty
-   Requires inspection of followers and bearings during installation
-   Engine type: Six-cylinder turbocharged industrial or generating-set diesel

## 🔌 Function

Controls the timing and lift of the engine valves.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Worn or pitted cam lobes
-   Incorrect valve lift
-   Metal contamination in the oil
-   Repeated follower or rocker-arm wear

## 🛠️ 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
