Chevy Tahoe Camshafts

A camshaft is a crucial part of your Chevy Tahoe's engine. Basically, it is a long rod that has numerous oblong protruding pieces or ‘lobes’. Rotation of the camshaft makes each lobe press on the corresponding valve. As a result, the valves are opened and closed with precise timing. The camshaft is driven by a timing chain that is attached to the crankshaft; the chain is also responsible for the synchronous movement of these two parts. Although camshafts are usually made of cast iron that is both strong and light, problems with these parts are not at all uncommon.

Wear of lobes due to use of wrong lubricants or improper maintenance is the most common reason for looking for a replacement camshaft. It is important that you only use lubricants that are recommended by the manufacturer; the condition of the camshaft should be checked regularly to detect the first signs of wear as early as possible.
