Camshaft and Lifter Kit
An engine camshaft is a rotating component that is located in the engine block and is responsible for opening and closing the engine's valves. Camshafts are typically made of steel and are driven by the engine's crankshaft through a series of gears or a timing belt. The shape and placement of the cam lobes on the camshaft determine the timing and duration of the valve opening and closing events. Camshafts are typically fitted with lifters, which are small, cylindrical components that are located between the camshaft and the engine's valve stems. The function of the lifters is to transfer the motion of the camshaft to the valves, opening and closing them as required. The operation of the automotive camshaft and lifters is critical to the efficient and reliable operation of an internal combustion engine. As the camshaft rotates, the lifters are pushed up and down by the cam lobes, which in turn opens and closes the engine's valves. The timing and duration of the valve events are carefully controlled by the shape and placement of the cam lobes, which are designed to optimize engine performance and efficiency. Over time, the wear on the camshaft and lifters can lead to reduced performance and reliability. Camshafts and lifters can become pitted or worn, which can cause the engine to run roughly or even fail to start. Regular maintenance and inspection of the camshaft and lifters can help to ensure the long-term reliability of the engine.
When selecting a cam and lifter kit, first confirm the year, make and engine size. Next choose the kit that matches your engine's operating power range for your application. Ensure that the lift of the camshaft will not cause piston-to-valve contact. If you are using an automatic transmission, confirm the proper stall speed torque converter to match the camshaft.
