Dodge Caravan Camshaft
Camshaft in Dodge caravan vehicles is highly essential for controlling the intake and exhaust valve of the engines where the mixture of air and fuel is admitted and the fumes are emitted. It is usually made of iron or steel, and works through levers such as the Pushrods and Rocker arms, in the Over Head Valve (OHV) engines or followers in Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC). It is necessary to note that camshafts of different years of Dodge Caravan are different which predetermines their performance. For example, performance camshafts provide greater and longer lift leading to improvement of airflow and power but also an effect on idle characteristics and a torque. Other features like Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) helps to distinguish these camshafts by ways of performance improvement of torque and RPMs. In general, analysis of the camshaft manifests the fact that it plays a crucial role for the optimal performance of the Dodge Caravan engine.

Dodge Caravan Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Camshaft and Camshaft Bearing in 3.3L and 3.8L V6 engine on Dodge Caravan?A:In the case of a 3.5L V6 engine, it has been replaced by a 3.3L and 3.8L V6 engine and this procedure applies to these engines. Due to the limitations of space to gain access to the camshaft, it is relocated if the engine is in the vehicle; for this procedure the engine has to come out of the vehicle and mounted on a stand. First take out the timing chain and sprockets, the lifters and the push rods. After that, remove the bolts and the camshaft thrust plate from the engine block. When pulling the camshaft out of the block use a long bolt fit in the camshaft sprocket bolt hole and pulling the camshaft out in a manner that way you're not damaging the bearings. Following removal, wash the camshaft in solvent and dry it after; in doing so, check the bearing journals for wear, pitting or signs of seizure and if there are they both the camshaft and bearings will require replacement. Replacing camshaft bearings may not be too complicated but the actual operation requires special tools and knowledge, so if you think that you are not capable of doing this, then you should take the engine block to the automotive machine shop. Insert a micrometer and check each bearing journal for excess wear or being out-of-round and check the lobe height of each cam lobe on the intake camshaft for variations; repeat the same using the exhaust camshaft but avoiding mixing the intake and exhaust measurements. The lobes of the camshaft should be checked for heat checks, scores, chipped, pitted or worn areas or surfaces; if all is well with the lobes, and within limits, then a camshaft can be used again. Check the inside diameter of each bearing using a small hole gauge and outside micrometer or inside micrometer and find the bearing oil clearance and if large new bearings will be needed. Wash the lifters but; make sure that the lifters are not mixed together, and inspect the lifter walls, pushrod seats, and feet for scuffing, scored, and wear marks. If new lifters are being installed a new camshaft has to be installed at the same time, and never put used lifters on the engine unless at the same time the original camshaft is put on. Inspect the rollers gently for signs of wear and harms and then to make sure that the rollers rotate freely with minimal side to side movement. For installation, the camshaft bearing journals and the cam lobes should be lubricated with moly-base grease or engine assembly lube, then after sliding in the camshaft into the engine, it should be supported near the block to avoid scraping or nicking the bearings. At last, fit the thrust plate together with the bolts, as per the torque setting and read on to fit the timing chain.
