  • Camshaft Installation and Degreeing Procedure
    1 INSTRUCTIONS Camshaft Installation and Degreeing Procedure Thank you for choosing COMP Cams® products; we are proud to be your manufacturer of choice. Please read this instruction booklet carefully before beginning installation and also take a moment to review the included limited warranty information. This instruction booklet is broken down into several categories for ease of use. Some of the topics may not apply to every application, but all of the information will be very beneficial during the cam installation process. For step-by-step visual detail, it is recommended to watch the COMP Cams® DVD “The Proper Procedure to Install and Degree a Camshaft” (Part #190DVD). If you have any questions or problems during the installation, please do not hesitate to contact the toll free CAM HELP® line at 1-800-999-0853, 7am to 8pm CST Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm CST Saturday. Important: In order for your new COMP Cams® camshaft to be covered under any warranty, you must use the recommended COMP Cams® lifters and valve springs. Failure to install new COMP Cams® lifters and valve springs with your new cam can cause the lobes to wear excessively and cause engine failure. If you have any questions about this application, please contact our technical department immediately. Camshaft Installation Procedure 1. Prepare a clean work area and assemble the tools needed for the camshaft installation. It is suggested to use an automotive manual to help determine which items must be removed from the engine in order to expose the timing chain, lifters and camshaft. A good, complete automotive manual will save time and frustration during the installation.

  • Contact Stress Analysis of Engine Speed on Cam- Tappet Pair
    U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series D, Vol. 80, Iss. 3, 2018 ISSN 1454-2358 CONTACT STRESS ANALYSIS OF ENGINE SPEED ON CAM- TAPPET PAIR Wu WENJIANG1, Long HAICHAO2, Zheng MINGJUN3, Gao ZHANFENG4*, Zhang XIAOLEI5 The cam-tappet friction pair of the valve train is one of the three major friction pairs of the engine. The contact stress between the cam and the tappet has an important influence on the fatigue life of the valve train. Taking a certain type diesel engine as the research object, a single mass motion model and computational model of the engine valve train were established. According to the Hertz theory, the kinetic equation of the cam-tappet friction pair was established. Then, the contact stress between the cam and the tappet was simulated by using the multi-body dynamics simulation software ADAMS respectively for the engine running at idling speed, rated speed and over-speed condition. The load history of the cam-tappet contact stress varying with time at different engine speeds was obtained. The research results have important reference value for further optimized design and improving the performance of the valve train. Keywords: Engine Speed, Cam-Tappet, Contact Stress, ADAMS 1. Introduction Cam-tappet is a pair of very important and sensitive friction pair in the valve train [1]. The engine usually works chronically in the harsh environments such as high temperature, high speed, pressure change, so the valve will be worn seriously after a period of time. As one of the three major friction pairs of the engine, the wear of the cam-tappet will not only destroy the valve movement laws and affect the ventilation performance of the valve, but also increase the noise during engine operation and reduce engine reliability [2].

  • Valve System Operation Valve Lifter (Tappet)
    Valve System Operation Below is information on the valvetrain and camshaft Valve Lifter (Tappet) The valve lifter is the unit that makes contact with the valve stem and the camshaft. It rides on the camshaft. When the cam lobes push it upwards, it opens the valve. The engine oil comes into the lifter body under pressure. It passes through a little opening at the bottom of an inner piston to a cavity underneath the piston. The oil forces the piston upward until it contacts the push rod. When the cam raises the valve lifter, the pressure is placed on the inner piston which tries to push the oil back through the little opening. It can't do this, because the opening is sealed by a small check valve. When the cam goes upward, the lifter solidifies and lifts the valve. Then, when the cam goes down, the lifter is pushed down by the push rod. It adjusts automatically to remove clearances. Lifter Body The valve lifter body houses the valve lifter mechanism. The valve lifter is the unit that makes contact with the valve stem and the camshaft. It rides on the camshaft. When the cam lobes push it upwards, it opens the valve. Valve Cover The valve cover covers the valve train. The valve train consists of rocker arms, valve springs, push rods, lifters and cam (in an overhead cam engine). The valve cover can be removed to adjust the valves. Oil is pumped up through the pushrods and dispersed underneath the valve cover, which keeps the rocker arms lubricated.

  • Design and Dynamic Analysis of a Novel Valve Control Mechanism
    SCIENTIFIC PROCEEDINGS XXI INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL CONFERENCE "trans & MOTAUTO ’13" ISSN 1310-3946 DESIGN AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A NOVEL VALVE CONTROL MECHANISM F.M. Günkan1, B. Doğru2, C. Baykara3, O.A. Kutlar4, H. Arslan5 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University, Gumussuyu, Istanbul, Turkey1 Abstract: In this study, a new valve control mechanism was represented to improve the fuel consumption at part load conditions in SI engines. The mechanism was working based on the skip cycle strategy. To achieve a complete air leakage prevention at high loads and speeds, the mechanism was mounted on the poppet valves directly. The locked valve control mechanism (LVCM) was assembled to a single – cylinder research engine and driven by the engine crankshaft. The mechanism was got ready to be tested in valve disabled and valve enabled modes. This could be provided by a locking system actuated by the driving mechanism. The results of displacement, velocity and acceleration of engine and driving camshafts were represented.

  • Camshaft Break-In Procedures
    Important Camshaft Break-In Information for Flat Tappet Cams The following information should be considered for any engine that uses a flat tappet design and should be referenced before initial start-up. The current engine oils used by engine manufacturers in new car production are not applicable for initial flat tappet break-in. Those oils are less desirable than older formulations which have better wear additives than the current SM category oils. With the advent of roller lifters, and cams, as well as roller rockers, the need for those expensive elements has diminished. There have been numerous reports of premature flat tappet camshaft failure. This has been an issue of late and not just with one brand or type of camshaft. In almost every case, the hardness or the taper of the cam lobe is suspected, yet most of the time that is not the problem. This growing trend is due to factors that are unrelated to camshaft manufacture or quality. Changes in today’s oil products and “advanced” internal engine design have contributed to a harsher environment for the camshaft and a potential for failure during break-in. However, there are several things you can do to turn the tide on this discouraging trend. Below is a list of oils with higher levels of wear preventive additives that may be more desirable during flat tappet break-in. All of the oils listed below also have flashpoints above 400° F.
