DESCRIPTION
A camshaft is a cylindrical shaft that rotates within the engine and operates the intake and exhaust valves. The 3979506 camshaft is a specific part number used in certain truck models. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through timing gears or a timing chain, and its lobes actuate the pushrods, which in turn operate the valve lifters or rocker arms. As the camshaft rotates, it opens and closes these valves in precise synchronization with the movement of pistons, allowing air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber while expelling exhaust gases. Properly functioning camshafts are essential for optimal engine performance, as they control critical aspects of combustion timing and airflow.
