This camshaft is the engine's primary rotating valve-timing component, controlling the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves. Manufactured to precise Volvo specifications, it ensures accurate valve timing and lift for optimal engine performance, unlike a worn camshaft with flattened lobes. Operators may experience a significant loss of engine power, rough idling, misfires, or increased exhaust smoke if the camshaft lobes are worn or damaged.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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 signs of camshaft wear include a noticeable decrease in engine power and inconsistent idling. As wear progresses, the engine may develop persistent misfires, rough running, and increased exhaust emissions. Severe camshaft lobe wear can lead to complete loss of valve function, resulting in significant engine performance issues and potential internal damage.
Ensure all bearing surfaces and lobes are thoroughly lubricated with assembly lube before installation to prevent initial startup damage. Do not allow the camshaft to spin freely without valve springs installed, as this can cause damage.
Inspect the valve lifters and timing gears for wear or damage, and ensure the engine oil is clean and at the correct level before installing the new camshaft.
