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
