Q
what does a cam do to an engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A camshaft, or "cam," plays a crucial role in an engine's function by controlling the intake and exhaust valves. It allows the valves to open and close at precise intervals that match the engine's firing order. This in turn controls the flow of air and fuel into the cylinders and aids in exhaust gases release. Through the cam's action, the engine can maintain the right balance of fuel and air and properly expel exhaust gases, which helps optimize power generation and fuel efficiency. It's a critical component for an engine's overall performance.
