11321748881 BMW S/S CAM FOLLO

Basically, this little guy translates the spinning motion of your camshaft into the up – and – down movement that opens and closes your engine’s valves. Think of it like a bridge between the cam and the valve train. It rolls along the camshaft lobes – those egg – shaped bumps – and that rolling action pushes on the valve stem, making the valve open. It’s a pretty simple concept, but absolutely crucial for everything to work right. It’s part of the valve train, which is right up in the engine, controlling how air and fuel get into the cylinders and how exhaust gets out. Without a functioning valve train, your engine won’t run, plain and simple. It’s not something you directly see working, it’s tucked away inside the engine itself. Well, if a cam follower goes bad, your engine performance suffers. You'll notice if it’s failing with things like a rough idle, a loss of power, or even a ticking sound coming from the engine. It's constantly under stress with all that rolling and pressure, so it will wear out eventually. It acts like a shield protecting more expensive parts, so catching a worn cam follower before it damages the camshaft itself is smart preventative maintenance. They’re not too expensive to replace, and doing it proactively can save you a lot of trouble down the road. We carry a good selection here, and you can also find them online at Fixparts Online if you prefer to shop that way. Get more for your money: Cam Follower (MPN 11321748881) is covered for 12 months!
