This camshaft is the central rotating component within the engine that controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves, dictating the engine's breathing cycle. Manufactured to meet Volvo's precise specifications, it features hardened lobes and journals for exceptional wear resistance and longevity compared to a worn or damaged camshaft. Operators may experience a noticeable decrease in engine power, rough idling, increased exhaust smoke, or difficulty starting if this camshaft is worn or broken.

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 signs of a worn camshaft include a reduction in engine performance, irregular idle, and potentially increased exhaust emissions. As wear progresses, valve lift may become insufficient, leading to poor combustion and difficulty starting. In severe cases, a broken camshaft lobe can cause a complete loss of power on one or more cylinders.
Lubricate all bearing surfaces and cam lobes generously with assembly lube before installation to prevent initial startup damage. Ensure the camshaft is installed without binding.
When replacing the camshaft, it is critical to inspect and replace the valve lifters (tappets) and camshaft bearings if any signs of wear are present.
