How do I know if my camshaft is working?
cam phasers can destroy a VCT and cause the timing of the engine to be so far gone it doesn't even start once it gets warm and the system goes out of "warmup" mode.
How much does it cost to replace Cam phasers?Both were $550 and $850.The work is going to be done in two weeks.If you just let the dealership take care of the problem, they will charge you $2500 to fix it.It is much cheaper to have a cam phaser replaced.
All of the cam followers are to be replaced as well as the phasers.If the phasers were replaced wrong, it could cause damage to the engine, but it wouldn't run right once the repair was done.
A cam phaser is a variable camshaft sprocket that can be turned by a computer.Rather than just setting a certain amount of advance or retard, the computer can advance the cam or cams at lowrpm to enhance driveability, and retard them at highrpm for more power.
