About Fuel Pump Camshaft Follower
The fuel pump camshaft follower is a barrier between the high-pressure fuel pump and the camshaft.

The cam follower typically maintains contact with the camshaft via a spring. The maximum range of movement generated by the camshaft is known as the stroke. The follower must remain in good condition to prevent damaging the fuel pump.
