Camshaft Replacement Service

What is the camshaft replacement all about?

The camshaft is a critical engine component that controls the opening and closing of the engine’s valves. Proper valve timing ensures your engine runs efficiently, delivers power smoothly, and maintains fuel economy. Over time, camshafts can wear, become damaged, or the camshaft lobes can degrade—especially if oil changes are neglected.

Replacing a worn or damaged camshaft restores proper engine performance and prevents further engine damage.

Keep in mind:

The camshaft is located inside the engine and works closely with the timing system. Damage or wear to the camshaft can lead to misfires, poor acceleration, rough idling, and even internal engine damage if left unaddressed. Early diagnosis and replacement are crucial to protect your engine and prevent costly repairs.

How it’s done:

• Inspect camshaft and related components for wear or damage
• Remove engine components necessary for access
• Remove the worn camshaft
• Install a new camshaft with proper lubrication
• Check and adjust valve timing
• Reassemble engine components and refill fluids
• Test engine operation for performance and smoothness

Our recommendation:

Camshaft wear is often gradual, so regular engine inspections and oil changes are essential. If your vehicle shows signs of poor performance, unusual engine noises, or check engine warning lights, have it inspected promptly. Replacing a camshaft at the first signs of wear helps maintain engine efficiency and prevent further damage.
