🔌 Function

The camshaft determines when and how far each valve opens.

Correct camshaft timing and lobe condition are essential for compression, combustion, torque and exhaust flow.

Common signs of wear or damage:

• Pitted or worn lobes

• Scored journals

• Low valve lift

• Engine misfire

• Reduced compression or power

• Metallic particles in the oil

• Camshaft-position signal faults on applicable engines

• Abnormal valvetrain noise

• Distributor drive-gear wear

Recommended checks before installation:

• Measure every journal

• Measure lobe lift

• Inspect the roller-lifter contact surfaces

• Check camshaft straightness

• Inspect the distributor drive gear

• Install new or verified lifters as required

• Check end float and retainer condition

• Apply assembly lubricant during installation

• Verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks

📦 Condition
