Abstract:
A camshaft that has a hollow inner chamber and a number of outlet ports. One end of the camshaft is sealed. The other end of the camshaft connects to an engine at a bearing oil gallery. Here, oil is forced into the hollow shaft. A number of holes are drilled around the cam lobes. Two holes are on one side of the shaft and a third is on the opposite side of the shaft. These holes communicate with the hollow interior of the camshaft. As oil is pumped into the shaft, it is forced out of the holes and around the camshaft and the cam lobes. Because each cam lob has these oiling holes, lubrication is provided to all lobes simultaneously. Because the cam lobes are what wears, delivering oil to all lobes simultaneously increases the lobe life significantly.
