Camshaft

DESCRIPTION
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. Thrust for each camshaft is taken at a thrust plate attached to the rear of each cylinder head. Right and left camshaft driving sprockets are not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left sprocket. Camshaft bearing lubrication is provided via oil feed passage through each rocker shaft pedestal dowel.
