MAN 81907130047 cam plate

Description

The MAN 81907130047 cam plate is a critical component within the engine's valve train, specifically used in engine heads. It plays a vital role in coordinating valve timing, ensuring optimal engine performance and efficiency. This cam plate is engineered for precision and durability, contributing to reduced friction and extended engine life. It measures 21 x 55 x 55 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically guides and supports the camshaft. Think of it as a bearing surface – the camshaft actually rolls or slides against it. It also helps maintain proper alignment of everything in the valve train, making sure all those moving parts are working smoothly together. It’s not a high – stress part in itself, but everything relies on it being in good shape. It’s deep inside the engine, specifically within the cylinder head assembly. It's part of the valve train, which is responsible for opening and closing the valves that let air and fuel in, and exhaust out. Without proper cam plate function, those valves won't open and close at the right time, and the engine won’t run right, or at all. It works alongside the camshaft, lifters, and pushrods, they're all a team.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s really important for keeping your engine running efficiently and quietly. If it wears out or gets damaged, you’ll notice if it’s a bad one – likely a ticking sound, or a loss of power. The cam plate acts like a shield, protecting more expensive parts from wear. Replacing a worn cam plate is a lot cheaper than replacing a camshaft or even a whole cylinder head. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it’s one of those parts where doing the job right the first time can save you a lot of headaches down the road. It's not something you'd typically ignore if you were rebuilding an engine, that's for sure.
