What is Camshaft Pulley?
Camshaft pulley is part of the timing system in an engine used to control the rate of rotation of the camshaft, the component that controls the poppet valves responsible for air intake and exhaust in the cylinders. The cam pulley articulates with the timing chain to rotate the camshaft in synchronicity with the crankshaft. This vehicle component is typically checked during a timing belt replacement to determine if it needs repair or replacement, and may be swapped out in high performance vehicles that see substantial engine wear.The camshaft controls when the cylinders open and close. The speed of operation determines the best engine timing, and car manufacturers use a number of tools to control the timing so a car will operate optimally at a range of speeds. Some cars are tuned for high performance and may be rough at low speeds because the valves are open longer, while others have difficulty running at high speeds because the intake needs aren`t met.
