Camshaft, Engine: Description

The camshafts are multiple-piece components with six machined lobes that are mounted to a hollow shaft with an interference fit. The cam lobes are induction hardened. Each camshaft has four bearing journals except for the right-bank intake camshaft. Due to the longer length needed to accommodate the centrifugal oil separator, the right-bank intake camshaft has five bearing journals. The camshaft journals have the same diameter and are supplied with oil pressure through lubrication passages in the cylinder head journals.
