Cam timing can dramatically affect engine performance. See why advancing the timing was the best choice for this build. #EngineBuild #Performance #MechanicLife ...

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 ...

Decades ago (OK, half a century or more), there was a product advertised in many of the performance magazines called the Varicam. The idea was a set of springs attached to a centrifugal device that ...

'It seems pretty simple, one shaft turning another, and with gears, chains, or belts, there are a variety of devices for getting the job done. We're talking about the camshaft, and there are a variety ...

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 ...

It is estimated that there are around 10,000 moving parts within an average internal combustion-powered car. Put like that, it is a truly mesmerising feat of engineering to get all of those components ...
