This camshaft is a vital component within the engine's valvetrain, controlling the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves to regulate airflow and combustion. Manufactured from hardened steel to precise Volvo specifications, it ensures accurate timing and durability, unlike a worn camshaft with rounded lobes. Operators may notice rough idling, a significant loss of engine power, or difficulty starting the engine if the camshaft is worn or damaged.

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.
Initial symptoms of a worn camshaft include rough engine idling, a noticeable reduction in engine power, and potentially increased exhaust emissions. If the wear progresses, valve timing can become significantly compromised, leading to poor engine performance and difficulty starting. Continued operation with a damaged camshaft risks severe engine damage due to improper valve operation.
Carefully inspect the camshaft bearing journals in the engine block for any signs of scoring or wear before installing the new camshaft. Ensure the camshaft is properly lubricated with assembly lube on all bearing surfaces and lobes before installation.
When replacing the camshaft, it is crucial to inspect the timing gears or sprockets and the timing belt or chain for wear and replace them if necessary to ensure correct timing.
