A straight, gear-driven shaft that contains lobes used to operate the intake and exhaust valves of a reciprocating engine. The camshaft is geared to the crankshaft in such a way that valves close and open at the correct time relative to the position of the piston in the cylinders.
DOHC. Obviously a v-6 or v-8. DOHC- Double OverHead Camshafts. 2 camshafts per cylinder head.
Real simple exhaust camshafts are the camshafts nearest the exhaust manifolds ( outside if cylinder heads) intake camshafts are on the inside closer to center of engine.
4 Camshafts total. 2 above each cylinder bank. So... 2 per head.
A single overhead camshaft V-8 has 2 camshafts, one on each head.
Cam lobes
one
You have to put proper gap for lifters and use marks to make sure that timing and the positions of camshafts are correct.
the wankle engine has no camshaft
No, it is SOHC.
it has 1, in the block.
No the camshafts are chain driven.
