Camshaft: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFTDESCRIPTION
The induction- hardened, forged-steel camshafts are hollow to minimize weight. The camshaft and crankshaft sprocket teeth are rubber coated, making chain noise indiscernible from other engine noise.
OPERATION
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via drive sprockets and a chain. The camshaft has precisely machined lobes to provide accurate valve timing and duration.
