What is a camshaft phaser, and how does it affect engine performance?
A camshaft phaser is a device that adjusts the timing of the camshaft to optimize engine performance under various conditions. By altering the camshaft’s position, the phaser can change the timing of the intake and exhaust valves, improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and increasing power output. Camshaft phasers are commonly used in Variable Valve Timing (VVT) systems, allowing the engine to adapt to different driving situations, such as idling, acceleration, and cruising.
