Pontiac Phoenix Camshaft
The camshaft, in essence, is the component of the vehicles of Pontiac Phoenix that helps regulate the opening/closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves so that the fuel and air mixture can be introduced and the exhaust gases expelled. Normally made from cast iron or steel, the Pontiac Phoenix camshaft employs several different arrangement type such as Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) and the more complex Double Over Head Cam (DOHC). All affect the performance of an engine in a different manner, while the DOHC setup enables the independent control of intake and exhaust valves improving efficiency. The camshaft in the Pontiac Phoenix is synchronized with the crankshaft so as to achieve the right timing for the valves. In general, performance camshafts can be tuned to attain one or the other, the intake and exhaust camshafts offer higher numbers of lift and duration to have better airflow and power. Other characteristics, for instance LSA or Lobe Separation Angle, also influences torque and idle, and the adjustment is possible according to the prescribed usage of the vehicle. In sum, the camshaft plays an important role of enhancing the efficiency of the Pontiac Phoenix car engine.

Pontiac Phoenix Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How should you examine and maintain the camshaft and its bearings in V6 engine on Pontiac Phoenix?A: Check the bearing surfaces and the surface of the cam lobes; light pitting or scratching may be smoothed with fine emery cloth or an oil stone, but if the camshaft is deeply scored a new one will be necessary. Camshafts should be mounted on V-blocks and employed with a dial gauge to measure camshaft lobes lift and run-out and exclude camshafts that do not meet the stipulated camshaft lobe lift and run-out. Use a micrometer to measure the journal diameters; it is mandatory to scrap any camshaft which does not conform to the above limits. In the case where either camshaft bearings are worn out or in some conditions damaged, then they have to be replaced; it can be done by having to detach the Crankshaft but maintaining Cylinder Heads and pistons. To avoid getting damaged, the connecting rod bolts should be taped before the removal of the crankshaft and the connecting rods should also be taped to the side of the engine to minimize on interference when removing the bearings. Take out the camshaft rear cover from the top of the cylinder block. Bearing can be removed using GM tool part number J-6098 or a like bearing remover / installer tool according to the instructions. The same set of tools is used to set the camshaft bearings where, for instance, the front and the rear bearings help in centering the remainder of the bearings so that the oil hole in the bearings will match the oil hole in the block. Remove any debris, oil or old gasket material from the camshaft rear cover, then give the cover a layer of RTV or any other equivalent sealant with 1/8 in x 3mm diameter around the sealing surface before fixing the cover on the engine block. Finally, reinstall the crankshaft.
