Why does a performance Cam lose torque at low rpm?

Why does a performance Cam lose torque at low rpm?

An engine with a performance cam operating at low RPM will suffer a loss of torque due to the fact that the effective compression ratio is reduced by the late intake valve closing point. However, as the RPM increases “inertia supercharging” becomes important.

Which is the most important Cam event in the engine?

Intake Closing AGAIN!: The most important cam event. This sets the engine’s effective RPM range, effective dynamic compression.

How does compression ratio affect the performance of a cam?

There are a number of things, which affect the cam’s performance. Cylinder head flow rates: The cylinder heads must be able to flow enough air for the time that the valves are open. Compression Ratio: Static compression ratio and cam choice should be considered as a system.

What does it mean when your camshaft is bad in your car?

Hidden inside your engine is a key mechanical component known as a camshaft. For most drivers who maintain their cars properly and don’t abuse them, there should never be a reason to have to deal with a bad camshaft. But if your camshaft does have a problem, it could mean major engine problems and an expensive repair bill.

What causes the end play of a cam to change?

Many factors can cause end play to change. When installing a new cam, timing gears, or thrust plates, be sure to verify end play after the cam bolts are torqued to factory specs. If the end play is excessive, it will cause the cam to move back in the block, causing the side of the lobe to contact an adjacent lifter.

Why does my dash cam keep losing settings?

If after charging, your camera quickly loses settings you’ll have to contact your retailer/manufacturer as it’s a warranty issue. Why does the last video file recorded before shutting down keep getting corrupted? The most common cause is a faulty capacitor or lithium-ion battery.

What causes the cam lobe and lifter to fail?

During break-in, verify that the pushrods are rotating, as this will show that the lifters are also rotating. If the lifters don’t rotate, the cam lobe and lifter will fail. Sometimes you may need to help spin the pushrod to start the rotation process.
