This camshaft is a rotating shaft with lobes that actuate the engine's intake and exhaust valves, controlling the flow of air and exhaust gases. Manufactured to precise Volvo specifications, it offers superior wear resistance and dimensional accuracy compared to a worn camshaft with pitted lobes or excessive play. Operators may experience rough idling, loss of engine power, or increased exhaust emissions if this component is failing.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early indications of a failing camshaft include inconsistent engine performance, such as rough idling or a noticeable loss of power. If ignored, lobe wear can lead to improper valve timing, causing poor fuel economy and increased emissions. The ultimate risk is significant engine damage due to incorrect valve operation.
Ensure the camshaft lobes and bearing journals are properly lubricated with assembly lube before installation. Avoid rotating the camshaft without valve lifters installed, as this can damage the lobes.
Inspect valve lifters, timing gears/chain, and camshaft bearings for wear or damage when replacing the camshaft.
