Lisle’s Camshaft Tool Locks Cams in Place

Use the tool to accurately line up and hold cams for proper timing chain alignment on Honda K-Series engines.

Demystifying Scopes: Camshaft And Crankshaft Waveforms

Having to remove valve or front cover of an engine to check engine timing marks can rarely be completed in under an hour on most modern engines. But, capturing the waveforms from the camshaft and crankshaft sensors can be completed in under 30 minutes. This diagnostic approach can also diagnose circuit and sensor problems.

VIDEO: Camshaft Position Sensor Diagnostics

Andrew Markel explains how some trouble codes may be directly related to the camshaft position sensor instead of the actuator or solenoid. Sponsored by Intermotor.

Ensure Camshaft Alignment With Lisle Corp. Timing Tool

When servicing the timing chain on Ford V6 3.5L and 3.7L engines, use Lisle Corp.’s Timing Tool for Ford (37100). The tool helps ensure camshaft alignment during removal and installation of the timing chain. Applications: 3.5L – 2007 and newer; 3.7L – 2009 and newer.

Service BMW Engines With Baum Tools Camshaft Timing Kit

This kit is used to set camshaft and Single/Double VANOS timing on BMW M42, M44, M50, M52/TU, M54, M56, S50US and S52US Inline 6 engines during timing chain removal and installation.

Choosing The Right Camshaft For A Performance Engine

Choosing the “right” camshaft is not only the cornerstone of building a performance engine, but also its centerpiece. Choosing a cam can give anyone a headache – especially if they choose the wrong cam for a given application. There’s a lot of science involved in cam selection, so keep reading and we’ll help you wade through the details.

Diagnostic Solutions: Variable Camshaft Timing And Back Pressure Issues

When the topic of variable valve timing (VVT) comes up in import repair shops, few realize that the concept of increasing low- and high-speed engine torque by automatically advancing and retarding valve timing isn’t a recent development. For example, I recently discovered an old variable camshaft timing gear that I bought during the 1960s featuring a torsion spring device that retards valve timing in response to the increased rotating torque needed to turn the camshaft at higher engine speeds.

Tech Tip: Fuel Injected Engine Camshafts

For a camshaft to work in a fuel injected application, it needs to make a good vacuum signal.

Tech Tip: Top Reasons and Causes for Camshaft Failure

Cam failure is rarely caused by the cam itself. The only things that can be controlled during manufacture pertaining to cam lobe wear are lobe taper, lobe hardness and surface finish.

Tech Tip: Ford Camshaft Tick Noise

Some of the affected vehicles built Jan. 17, 2006 and later equipped with the 3.0L 4V Duratec engine with exhaust camshaft-driven water pumps may exhibit a ticking noise from the left bank cylinder head with the engine at normal operating temperature.
