Camshaft
Mitsubishi FUSO®

A camshaft is a cylindrical rod with a series of oblong lobes or cams along its length. It is an integral part of an engine's valve train, responsible for the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. The ME017266 camshaft is a specific part number for a camshaft used in certain truck engines. The lobes on the camshaft are designed to push against the engine's valve lifters, which in turn open and close the valves. The shape and size of the lobes on the camshaft determine how much air and fuel can be taken in by the engine, as well as how much exhaust can be expelled. A properly functioning camshaft is essential to maintaining optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.
