20745485 Camshaft | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Brand-new genuine Volvo Penta camshaft for selected TAD16 industrial engines. Precision-ground lobes and journals control the designed valve-event timing and valvetrain motion. Installation requires correct timing alignment, lubrication, bearing inspection and valve adjustment in accordance with the applicable engine workshop procedure.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD1650VE-B/51VE

• Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine precision-machined camshaft
• Correct lobe profiles and journal dimensions
• Maintains factory valve timing and lift
• Designed for selected TAD16 engine architecture
• Camshaft only; bearings, gears and installation hardware are separate unless supplied
• Engine type: 16.1-litre inline six-cylinder Volvo Penta industrial diesel

🔌 Function

Operates the valvetrain in the correct sequence and profile so the inlet and exhaust valves open and close at the specified crankshaft positions.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Tapping or knocking from the valvetrain
• Loss of power, rough running or cylinder imbalance
• Excessive valve-clearance change
• Pitted or worn cam lobes and followers
• Metal contamination in the lubricating oil

🛠️ 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
