Camshaft: Understand its role in the engine and get to know the best-selling items in RIO.

Hey there, Expert! Another Wednesday has arrived, and with it comes our new blog article to talk about that passion that everyone loves: the engine. And today, we will chat about RIO’s camshafts, from their role in the operation of the vehicle, to more technical characteristics, through our best-selling items to the application. So stay here and check out this post in its entirety. Without further ado, let’s take a look at today’s tips.

CAMSHAFT: HOW DOES IT WORK ON THE ENGINE?

You, the Expert, surely already know how an internal combustion engine works. To simplify, the movement of the pistons and crankshaft, together with the action of the intake and exhaust valves, allows the fuel to be burned inside the engine, thus generating movement through the opening of the exhaust valve.  And you know who kicks in so that these intake and exhaust valves open and close at the right time? Yes, himself, the camshaft.

That is, the camshaft is the part responsible for regulating the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. And this is directly linked to the amount of fuel consumed and the power generated by the engine.

Of course, because it is such an important and complex component at the same time, the details of its operation require a little more conversation, especially for those who are not so familiar with the subject.
