Camshaft, Engine: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The 2.4L engine uses a Single Over Head Camshaft (SOHC) to provide valve actuation but the camshaft is in the standard position of an exhaust camshaft in a Dual Over Head Camshaft (DOHC) engine. The camshaft has six bearing journal surfaces and three cam lobes per cylinder. The camshaft is built up on a hollow tube with cam lobes, thrust rings, a camshaft position sensor pick-up wheel, and end caps pressed into position. The front end cap includes the camshaft sprocket mounting. The number 4 bearing surface has thrust rings pressed onto the tube on both sides of it to control end play. The rear has a camshaft position sensor pick-up wheel and also drives the vacuum pump.
