Toyota Camry Camshafts

Camshafts are some of the major components of an internal combustion engine. The function of these elaborately shaped shafts is to receive rotations from the crankshafts by means of the timing mechanism (chain + sprockets or belt + pulleys) and transform them into the reciprocating motion of the pushrods. In such a way, the upper section of the engine is formed, which carries out managing functions, synchronized with the lower, power section. Currently, the most widespread scheme suggests the installation of two camshafts above the head of each of the cylinder rows. It is known as the DOHC (Double OverHead Camshaft) architecture.

Such a design is employed by both of the Toyota Camry engines offered for the XV60 generation. Featuring an intelligent variable valve timing system, both have a pretty sophisticated architecture, which, nonetheless, still relies on the camshafts as its core components. When something goes wrong with these important engine parts, you shouldn’t really hesitate with getting quality replacements, as the improperly timed engine won’t deliver the expected performance or fuel efficiency and may eventually get damaged.
