Dodge Dakota camshaft is very important in the proper opening and closing of the engine intake and exhaust valves to allow the admission of air/fuel mixture and the release of exhaust gases. The camshaft of Dodge Dakota is usually made from the iron or steel and the processes by which it functions are the Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam(SOHC) and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) that changes the performance of the engine. Modified Dodge Dakota camshafts have higher lift and longer duration than those of performance camshafts, they improve flow and power, primarily on high speeds. Other features like the Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) have influence on torque and idle quality and, in consequence, drive, enabling clients to have engines built to their precise requirements. In a nutshell, the Dodge Dakota camshaft is crucial in enhancing the efficiency of the engine as well as the power output.
Dodge Dakota Camshaft Parts and Q&A
- Q: How is the Left Camshaft Installed on Dodge Dakota?A:Before putting in the left camshaft, apply clean engine oil to the camshaft journals and position the camshaft so its sprocket is just past 1 o'clock. Position the camshaft somewhere in the neutral spot to make setting the bearing caps easier. Then, put the camshaft inside the cylinder head and mount the bearing caps, turning the retaining bolts tightly with your hands, so that the numbers and arrows are correct front to back. Screw each middle and outer bolt 1/2 turn at a time, then set torque to 11 Nm (100 in. lbs). To align the camshaft drive gear with the Timing Chain, look for the "V6" on both chain links and make them line up. Once you've got Tool 8428 Camshaft wrench, turn the camshaft until its sprocket dowel is in place with the sprocket's slot and then insert the sprocket over the camshaft. Clean the sprocket bolt of any extra oil, so over-torque does not happen and the bolt will not fail, then attach the retaining bolt and simply tighten by hand. Following removal of Special Tool 8379 timing chain wedge, use a Special Tool 6958 spanner wrench with adapter pins 8346 and torque the bolt retaining the sprocket to 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.). Last, put the cylinder head cover over the assembly.
- Q: How to Safely Remove a Camshaft and Timing Chain Without Causing Damage on Dodge Dakota?A:Before the cylinder heads are removed, making sure the Timing Chain is out, do not try to rotate the camshafts or Crankshaft separately, as it might end in valve or piston damage. If you don't use #8379 tool while removing the cam sprocket, timing chains or camshaft, this will make the ratchet in your hydraulic tensioner overextend. This means you'll have to remove the timing chain cover to reset the tensioner ratchet. Remove the cylinder head cover as the first step. Place the engine at TDC, cylinder No. 1, so the camshaft sprocket marks are pointed at the 12 o'clock position. Attach a mark to the back one of the secondary timing chain and one on the camshaft sprocket that has V6 marked. Do not press or hold down on the camshaft target wheel or you may do significant damage that makes the car unusable. Leave the camshaft sprocket bolt still in place, but allow it to turn more freely so the sprocket is secure. Make sure the timing chain tensioners are secured before taking off the camshaft sprockets; if they aren't, they can move which means the timing chain cover has to be taken off for repair. Don't push a screwdriver or any other tool through the narrow part of the chain to keep it from damaging the tensioners. Put tool 8379 in the chain groove, just under the tensioner arm's pin and then tap on the tool so the chain is wedged between the strands and the tool. Take out the Camshaft Position Sensor. Remove the drive sprocket bolt and sprocket after holding the camshaft with tool 8428 camshaft wrench. Unscrew each of the cap retaining bolts a half turn at a time, starting at the outside, so the pressure on the bearing caps is relieved. Do not attempt to strike or stamp the camshaft bearing caps, because this may cause a severe impact. Before taking out the camshaft, make a mark on the Rocker Arms so they do not slide down when removed. After that, remove the bearing caps and then the camshaft.
