Camshaft: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT(S)
DESCRIPTION
The assembled fabricated camshafts are composed of five bearing journals machined into a hollow steel tube (Fig. 24). Six steel lobes, a secondary
timing drive sprocket, and a primary sprocket/thrust flange are pressed onto the camshaft tube using a unique assembly process. Camshaft end play is
controlled by the primary camshaft sprocket attachment flange on the intake camshafts and by a thrust flange on the exhaust camshafts.
OPERATION
The camshaft has precisely machined (egg shaped) lobes to provide accurate valve timing and duration. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via
drive sprockets and chains.
