Camshaft: Description and Operation
Camshaft - Description
DESCRIPTION
The assembled fabricated camshafts are composed of five bearing journals machined onto a hollow steel tube. The camshafts are secured in the cylinder
head (6) by the camshaft bearing caps (1)&(2). 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 (7) and by a thrust flange on the exhaust camshafts (3). The intake camshafts are driven by the primary chain. The exhaust camshafts (3) are
driven by the intake camshafts (10) through a secondary chain (11). The secondary chain tensioner (7) keeps tension on the secondary chain (11).
