Checking and adjusting the camshaft timing can be a little bit intimidating to racers or first-time engine builders because it is a bit complex at first. But it is also vitally important because ...

If there's an elusive animal in the amateur performance world, then degreeing a cam is it. Few know how to do it, and even fewer understand the benefits. If you're following our 347 build from the ...

What P0022 means: Indicates Bank 2 intake camshaft is lagging behind commanded timing, typically in engines with VVT systems. Likely culprits: Low or degraded oil, clogged or faulty VVT solenoids, ...

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 ...

Your camshaft and timing system quietly keep your engine in perfect rhythm — until they don’t. From worn lobes to failing phasers, small issues can snowball into major repairs if ignored. Knowing the ...

A cam phaser is a sprocket which adjusts the position of an engine’s camshaft in relation to its crankshaft and is tuned with a computer-controlled servo. Camshafts control the timing of engine intake ...

We must first understand what each of these two systems does for a car. They both serve the same purpose, which is to coordinate the movement of the crankshaft as well as the camshaft(s) so that the ...

The problem is as old as the internal combustion engine itself: Static valve timing is always a compromise. Figures that produce good power at lower engine speeds aren't ideal for higher-rpm operation ...
