The camshaft is the brain of your engine, mechanically opening and closing the valves. It dictates when the valves open and close, how long they are open and closed and when they are open and closed in relation to crankshaft position. The camshaft has a very large effect on the type of power your engine makes. | The camshaft is the brain of your engine, mechanically opening and closing the valves.
