7、 sync with the pistons.The camshaft is geared to turn at one-half the rate of the is geared to turn at one-half the rate of the crankshaft.Many high-performance engines have crankshaft.Many high-performance engines have four valves per cylinder(two for intakefour valves per cylinder(two for intake，t

8、wo two for exhaust)for exhaust)，and this arrangement requires two and this arrangement requires two camshafts per bank of cylinderscamshafts per bank of cylinders，hence the hence the phrase“dual overhead cams”.phrase“dual overhead cams”.（See fig.3-1See fig.3-1）Fig.3-1 Valve Train Lobes Lobes The key

9、 parts of any camshaft are the The key parts of any camshaft are the lobes.As the camshaft spinslobes.As the camshaft spins，the lobes open and the lobes open and close the intake and exhaust valves in time with close the intake and exhaust valves in time with the motion of the piston.It turns out th

10、at there the motion of the piston.It turns out that there is a direct relationship between the shape of the is a direct relationship between the shape of the cam lobes and the way the engine performs in cam lobes and the way the engine performs in different speed ranges.When the intake valve differe

11、nt speed ranges.When the intake valve opens and the piston starts its intake strokeopens and the piston starts its intake stroke，the air-fuel mixture in the intake runner starts the air-fuel mixture in the intake runner starts to accelerate into the cylinder.By the time the to accelerate into the cy

27、ean that intake and exhaust gases More valves mean that intake and exhaust gases can flow more freely because there are more can flow more freely because there are more openings for them to flow through.This increases openings for them to flow through.This increases the power of the engine.On single
