push rod or tap its. It would be a cam lobe that moves the lifter.
When the cam can be rotated several degrees without the lifter moving this indicates the lifter is on the base. This may not hold true with variable displacement engines or in the case or major valvetrain damage.
Take off the camshaft.
360
It is an engine piece, that rides on the lobe of the camshaft, and raises the pushrod, which pivots the rocker arm, and opening the valve.
The camshaft position sensor on a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix is located behind the rear bearing of the camshaft. It constantly monitors the rotation of the camshaft and relays this information to the computer.
The camshaft sensor on a 2001 Chevrolet Venture is located behind the rear bearing cap. It monitors the rotation of the camshaft and updates the computer constantly.
The camshaft position sensor on a 1991 Acura Legend is located at the back of the camshaft, near the rear bearing cap. It monitors the rotation of the camshaft and relays this information to the vehicle's computer.
If it is a solid lift cam, Then the valve specs will be written on the cam card that came with the cam. If it is a hydraulic lifter cam shaft then you adjust the valves like any other camshaft.
A camshaft would travel 180 deg for every 360 that the crank turns.
A camshaft synchronizer is a device driven off the camshaft that couples to a sensor that tells the car's powertrain computer at what point of rotation the camshaft is. The information from the sensor is used by the powertrain computer to time the spark that will ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders. Many engines using camshaft synchronizers are older designs that were originally designed to have a conventional distributor; the camshaft synchronizer mounts in the same place as the distributor used to.
Yes. Cam sensor will determine the rotation of the camshaft, and if it does not sense it 'turning' the sensor will not allow the engine to start (it protects damaging the engine). Faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensors will stall engine and prevent restart until replaced.
