Inlet Camshaft
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Inlet Camshaft, also known as the Intake Camshaft, is a vital part of a commercial truck's engine. It is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the intake valves, which allow air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber. The camshaft is driven by the engine's timing belt or chain, and its lobes are designed to push on the rocker arms, which in turn open the intake valves. Without a properly functioning Inlet Camshaft, the engine would not be able to intake the necessary air and fuel mixture for combustion. This would result in poor engine performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and potentially even engine damage. Regular maintenance and inspection of the Inlet Camshaft is crucial to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
