How to align the camshaft on a Cruze?

[SanElias]

There is a groove at the rear of the Chevrolet Cruze camshaft. Simply rotate the crankshaft two turns to align the marks. Below is an introduction to automotive camshafts: The camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Due to its high rotational speed and the need to withstand significant torque, the design requirements for the camshaft in terms of strength and support are very high. The material is typically high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. There are three key points to note regarding camshaft usage: 1. Insufficient oil supply pressure from the oil pump, blocked lubrication channels preventing oil from reaching the camshaft, or excessive tightening torque on the bearing cap bolts preventing oil from entering the camshaft clearance can all lead to abnormal wear of the camshaft. 2. Abnormal wear of the camshaft can increase the clearance between the camshaft and the bearing seat, causing axial displacement during camshaft operation and resulting in unusual noises. 3. When installing the bearing cap, pay attention to the directional arrows and position numbers marked on the bearing cap surface, and strictly follow the specified torque using a torque wrench to tighten the bearing cap bolts.
