The camshaft bearing works with the crankshaft to supply power to drive the vehicle. The camshaft is in charge of opening and closing the valves to supply the proper mixture for explosive compression.
Camshaft bearing functionThe camshaft is a round-like shaft that opens and closes the valves and the cam bearing is mounted into bearing bores so they are lubricated properly. The main function of the camshaft bearing is to hold up the camshaft and let it rotate so it will activate push rods as well as rocker arms to open and shut valves. The component must be perfectly aligned and lubricated carefully to make them function correctly.
Common issues with a faulty camshaft bearingA faulty camshaft bearing can lead to excessive wear, poor lubrication, and overloading.
