The functionality of the camshaft

The SWAG brand Camshaft is responsible for controlling the gas exchange process in the engine by timely opening and closing the valves in the gas distribution mechanism. In modern cars, the overhead camshaft is usually found to be more efficient. One or two shafts meet per cylinder bank. They are made of high-strength steel or cast iron.

It is necessary to "try" hard to ensure that a strong, reliable unit is out of order. Nevertheless, it happens that the camshaft on an engine in working order needs to be replaced. Most often, a new part is installed when carrying out a major overhaul of the motor.
