This camshaft is the heart of the engine's valve train, controlling the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves in Volvo D16 engines. Precision-ground lobes ensure accurate valve timing for optimal combustion and performance, unlike a worn camshaft with rounded lobes that lead to poor engine breathing. Operators might experience a significant loss of engine power, rough idling, and increased exhaust emissions when the camshaft lobes are excessively worn.
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.
The primary symptom of a worn camshaft is a noticeable decrease in engine power and torque, often accompanied by rough idling and uneven engine operation. If the wear is severe, the engine may struggle to start or run at all due to improper valve timing. Continued operation can lead to increased oil consumption and exhaust emissions.
Ensure the camshaft journals and the engine block's camshaft bores are perfectly clean and lubricated with appropriate assembly oil before installation. Never spin the camshaft with dry lobes, as this will cause immediate damage.
When replacing the camshaft, it is critical to inspect and replace the valve lifters (tappets) and camshaft bearings, as well as check the timing gear or chain for wear.
