Cylinder Head(S): Camshaft(S): Description: Camshaft
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A single overhead camshaft per cylinder head provides valve actuation. The left camshaft accommodates a cam sensor pick-up wheel and is therefore longer. Each camshaft is supported by four bearing journals. A thrust plate attached to the rear of each cylinder head controls camshaft end play. Right and left camshaft driving sprockets support a timing mark, are keyed, and not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left sprocket. Camshaft bearing lubrication is provided via a oil supply passage through each rocker shaft pedestal dowel.
