A PRIMER ON CAMSHAFTS by Henry D. Manley III (of Manley Performance Products Inc, http://www.manleyperformance.com ) The camshaft has been called the heart of the internal combustion engine, and there is a great deal of truth in this statement. The camshaft controls the valve train making possible the entire four cycle event. In stock American passenger car engines the camshaft is designed to deliver smooth quiet idling and good low speed performance. To acheive these ends as much as one fifth of the potential horsepower is sacrificed for two basic reasons. First, the valves are not moved off their seats radically, and second, the valves are not left open for long durations. Of course, there is some overlapping of the valves, and this is not particularly condusive to good performance, but at high engine speeds this overlap actually becomes beneficial as will be shown later. A racing camshaft basically opens the valves higher and leaves them open longer than a stock camshaft. However, the exact profile of the cam, that is, how the cam actually accomplishes this event, is of primary importance. The ideal situation would have the intake valve snap open instantly at approximate top dead center ( TDC ) and remain open until 40
