It's appropriate, we think, that a camshaft has lobes, since this relatively simple device is so often called the brains of an engine. And indeed, a camshaft does direct several engine functions in a ...

In the early days of high- performance engine building, hot rodders discovered that when they squeezed the intake and the exhaust lobes closer together, the engine responded with more power. That ...

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 ...

When you buy a camshaft out of the box these days, you can be reasonably certain it will be close to where you need to be in terms of the grind. Much of that is because of advances in technology ...

Volkswagen's troubles continue, but this time it's not emissions-related cheating, it's failing camshaft lobes which can wreak havoc on braking performance. Volkswagen is recalling 91,867 cars ...

You can't do that with a regular camshaft, since the lobes are set to open all the valves. In order to get that sort of variability that Freevalve has, you'd have to totally switch cams. Freevalve can ...

The term “camming” refers to the modification of a truck’s camshaft. While it may sound justifiably complex, the process of changing out the camshaft allows you to build a custom engine that performs ...

A new machine from Schaudt Mikrosa BWF combines four spindles for complete camshaft grinding in one setup. Advancing single and double-wheel technology one step further, the Zeus grinding machine ...
