What does the camshaft do? The camshaft is one of the basic and most important parts of the timing system, it is responsible for the correct control of the valves, i.e. opening and closing them.

It is in the form of a shaft with typical metal profiles, i.e. cams which additionally have a specific shape, structure and diameter, as well as the number of possible valves. It is also worth remembering that the camshaft largely acts as intermediaries in the possible lubrication of the engine, and also, if necessary, to drive the ignition apparatus, injection pump, fuel or oil. Therefore, its operation plays a key role not only in the context of the timing system, but also the functioning of the engine itself, and it performs quite a responsible task.

When should we expect camshaft replacement?

Unfortunately, the camshaft, due to its characteristic location, as well as the activities it performs, can be damaged or destroyed quite quickly in the event of improper use of the car. Therefore, you need to pay attention to adjusting the oil to the type of engine we have, and remember to systematically replace the filters, which reduce the movement of contaminants. If we notice a significant decrease in power in our engine, possibly in diesel units, there is even a slight smoke when increasing the ogre, we can be almost sure that the camshaft has worn out. Here, although it is possible to regenerate it, this solution is rather not recommended, it is better to decide to buy a functional and even used one, but suitable for re-use.

This will not only have a positive effect on the operation of the entire timing system, but will also restore the maximum power of our engine. Let's also try to influence the operation of the timing system and the shaft located in it, by systematically changing the appropriate oil, or cleaning the filters or replacing them, which will minimize the amount of hazardous contamination.

The camshaft is an essential component of an engine's timing system. It is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the valves, which are crucial for the proper functioning of the engine. The camshaft is made up of a shaft with metal profiles, known as cams, which have specific shapes, structures, diameters, and numbers of valves.

In addition to its role in the timing system, the camshaft also acts as an intermediary in the lubrication of the engine and can be used to drive the ignition apparatus, injection pump, fuel, or oil. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in the engine's overall performance and is responsible for some of the engine's essential functions. Unfortunately, due toits location and the tasks it performs, the camshaft is vulnerable to damage or wear and tear. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the oil type and systematically replace the filters, which reduce the movement of contaminants. Failure to do so can lead to significant power loss and even smoke emission in diesel engines.

If the camshaft is damaged or worn out, it is advisable to replace it rather than regenerate it. A functional or used camshaft suitable for re-use is a better option to restore the engine's maximum power and efficiency.

Regular maintenance of the timing system and camshaft, including changing the appropriate oil, cleaning or replacing filters, and minimizing hazardous contaminants, can help prolong the camshaft's lifespan and maintain the engine's optimal performance. The camshaft is an essential component of the engine's timing system responsible for controlling the opening and closing of valves. Its proper functioning is crucial for the engine's overall performance, and regular maintenance is essential to prevent damage or wear and tear.
