Camshaft: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT(S)
DESCRIPTION
A single overhead camshaft per cylinder head provides valve actuation. The left camshaft accommodates a cam sensor pick-up wheel and is therefore
longer. Each camshaft is supported by four bearing journals. A thrust plate attached to the rear of each cylinder head controls camshaft end play. Right
and left camshaft driving sprockets support a timing mark, are keyed, and not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left
sprocket. Camshaft bearing lubrication is provided via a oil supply passage through each rocker shaft pedestal dowel.
OPERATION
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via drive sprockets and belt. The camshaft has precisely machined lobes to provide accurate valve timing and
duration.
