What is a Ford Camshaft & How Does It Work?

The Ford camshaft is a critical engine component responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the valves in sync with the crankshaft. It ensures:

  • ✔Proper air/fuel intake – Intake valves open at the right time.
  • ✔Efficient exhaust gas release – Exhaust valves open post-combustion.
  • ✔Synchronization with the crankshaft – Via timing belt/chain for optimal engine cycles.

The camshaft works closely with:

  • Valves & Lifters – Transfers motion to open/close valves.
  • Timing Belt/Chain – Keeps camshaft and crankshaft aligned.
  • Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) – Monitors position for PCM adjustments.

A properly functioning camshaft is essential for engine power, fuel efficiency, and smooth operation.

What Happens When a Ford Camshaft Fails?

A worn or damaged camshaft can cause:

  • ⚠Loss of power & poor acceleration – Valves don’t open/close properly.
  • ⚠Loud tapping noises – Worn lifters or lobes.
