This diagram shows the major cam events through one full cylinder cycle (two crank revolutions or 720 degrees), beginning at TDC firing. The exhaust lobe and valvetrain is closer to the front, and ...

This collection of cam-related phenomena is intended to take you beyond the degree-it-in and set-the-valve-lash plateau. In concert with what you may already know about camshaft types, selection, and ...

Everybody kind of knows what it is and has a picture in their mind of what a camshaft looks like, but maybe not a full understanding of what it really does or the technological advances that ...

A cam phaser is a sprocket which adjusts the position of an engine’s camshaft in relation to its crankshaft and is tuned with a computer-controlled servo. Camshafts control the timing of engine intake ...

Cam swaps are all the rage and for good reason. Adding an aftermarket cam to an otherwise stock engine can boost output by 40-60 hp (or more) with no other changes (except possibly a valvespring ...

When it comes to the many variables of combustion inside an engine, engineers measure the timing of key events in degrees of crankshaft rotation, a relative frame of reference that remains constant ...
