Saturn LS1 Camshaft
Camshaft is a significant part of Saturn LS1 vehicles which works to control the intake and exhaust valves through which admission of air for burning in the combustible chamber takes place. These camshafts can be of block mounted camshafts or cylinder head mounted camshafts with over head valve (OHV), single over head cam (SOHC) and double over head cam (DOHC) types. The camshaft is timed with crankshaft so that the valves open and close at the right time. To get power output to the max other performance camshafts can be fitted; differing in lift, duration, and lobe separation in performance camshafts. Higher lift cams, also called performance cams, enhance the flow rate of fresh air, raw power, and speed range with regard to other aspects such as the vehicle's compression ratio and weight. Camshafts affect torque, cylinder pressure, and the engine idle quality; therefore, it is a vital component regarding customization or tuning of Saturn LS1 cars.
Each OEM Saturn LS1 Camshaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Saturn LS1 Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove the camshafts and Lash Adjuster in V6 engine on Saturn LS1?A: To remove the camshafts, begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal and setting the engine to 60-degrees before TDC. Take off the valve cover(s) and timing belt. Use a wrench on the hex drive of the camshaft to prevent it from turning while removing camshaft sprockets, making sure to mark their original positions. Pick off bearing caps from the cylinder head and take note of their original locations. Remove camshafts from cylinder head along with camshaft seals. Put each lash adjuster in numbered containers to prevent mixing them up. This process has to be repeated for rear cylinder head only camshafts. Check if there is wear and roundness on all cams and lash adjusters after removing them. Compare measurements after measuring outside diameter for each lash adjuster. Inspect wear or overheating on lobe of every camshaft. Check measurements after measuring lobe height for each cam lobe. Inspect these parts for wear or pitting:-Camshaft bearing journals-Cylinder head bearing surfaces Measure each journal's diameter, checking for excessive wear too; For this purpose, clean the bearing surfaces and install the Plastigage-carrying camshafts as well as bearing caps; To be sure about journal oil clearance, measure compressed strand-width; To tap towards and away from gauge let it measure endplay of a dial indicator checking in readings;. After inspection is done, position engine at 60-degrees before TDC again (engine should be rotated by hand). Lubricate cylinder head roller bores (with oil) as well as roller followers and leave them in their original bores once you're done with that operation (again). Put new oil seals on both ends of both cams., Apply anaerobic sealant between front caps' cylinder head; first caps must have anaerobic sealant applied between them., Use lubrication for camshaft installation on both the journals and lobes., Then, attach the camshaft bearing caps in their original positions, ensuring they are tightened down in the proper sequence. Finally, replace all remaining parts including timing belt and sprocket which will complete reassembly. Finally, connect the battery.
