Pontiac Phoenix Camshaft

The camshaft, in essence, is the component of the vehicles of Pontiac Phoenix that helps regulate the opening/closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves so that the fuel and air mixture can be introduced and the exhaust gases expelled. Normally made from cast iron or steel, the Pontiac Phoenix camshaft employs several different arrangement type such as Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) and the more complex Double Over Head Cam (DOHC). All affect the performance of an engine in a different manner, while the DOHC setup enables the independent control of intake and exhaust valves improving efficiency. The camshaft in the Pontiac Phoenix is synchronized with the crankshaft so as to achieve the right timing for the valves. In general, performance camshafts can be tuned to attain one or the other, the intake and exhaust camshafts offer higher numbers of lift and duration to have better airflow and power.

Pontiac Phoenix Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove and install a camshaft in V6 engine on Pontiac Phoenix?
    A: To begin, remove the engine from the car, followed by the rocker arm covers, Pushrods, and valve lifters. Next, take off the crankshaft front cover, fuel pump, and fuel pump pushrod, then remove the distributor. After that, detach the Timing Chain and camshaft sprocket. Install two bolts into the camshaft bolt holes to use as grips for pulling the camshaft out of the engine block, ensuring to do this slowly to prevent damage to the Camshaft Bearings as the journals pass through the bearing surfaces, while supporting the camshaft with one hand near the engine block. Before installing the camshaft, coat each of the lobes and journals liberally with lithium-based grease, then slide the camshaft into the engine block, taking care not to damage the bearings. Install the camshaft sprocket and timing chain, ensuring that the marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets align, and confirm that the number 1 piston is at top dead center using a dial indicator. Finally, reinstall the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.
