A camshaft is located in the cylinder head and controls the valves. There are two types of camshafts: overhead and underhead. Overhead camshafts are positioned at the top of the cylinder head and directly drive the valves via lifters or rockers. Underhead camshafts are located at the bottom of the engine block and use pushrods and rockers to operate the valves.
Camshaft adjuster: The camshaft adjuster modifies the camshaft's timing based on load and RPM, optimising performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
Camshaft sensor: The camshaft sensor detects the position of the camshaft and sends this information to the engine management system. This helps synchronise valve timing and optimise combustion.
Lifters: Lifters (hydraulic or solid) ensure the direct transfer of camshaft movement to the valves. In short, these components are essential for engine performance and reliability. Issues can lead to power loss or engine damage.
