Mazda 6 Camshaft
Mazda 6 Camshaft coordinates the movements of the valves with the movement of the piston to ensure the engine breathes in and provides an efficient flow of power. The Camshaft is made of cast iron or hardened steel and bears lobes of the shape of eggs, pressing upon lifters or followers and converting their rotation into the actual lift that opens each intake or exhaust valve, and then causes the valve springs to spring them closed in their turn as the lobes pivot past. At half speed a toothed timing belt or metal chain connects the shaft to the crankshaft to ensure that every intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke is timed correctly. In the history of the Mazda 6, various layouts have been applied to accommodate the Camshaft. Original pushrod overhead valve designs incorporated a single unit deep within the block which pushed the valves via lifters, pushrods and rocker arms. Single overhead cam heads were later replaced with one rotating rod in the middle of the cylinders to act faster, though the current Mazda double overhead cam versions, which are fitted to most Mazda 6 models today, allocate each rotating rod to either an intake or exhaust valve and are able to support higher revolutions and better variable timing. The third generation has the DOHC layout and better fuel economy on units manufactured after 2013. No matter the style, precise timing and continuous lubrication are important since scuffed lobes or a slippery chain will rapidly depower a Mazda engine, set off alarm lights and can even break or bend pistons or valves.

Mazda 6 Camshaft Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to remove and reinstall the rear bank cylinder head of a camshaft engine on Mazda 6?A:Removing rear bank Cylinder Head of a 3.0L engine requires first removing the Timing Chain of the rear bank of the cylinder and labeling the positions of each cap of the camshaft, in order to prevent confusion. Tighten the bolts that hold the camshaft bearing caps in the reverse order of installation, then remove the caps by tapping them slightly with the hammer, as necessary. Label the intake and exhaust camshafts (so that they can be installed correctly), and then remove them together with the rocker arms, which will be stored in an appropriate container and identified. Take out the hydraulic lash adjusters out of their bores, and store them in a tidy manner to be reassembled. In the case of the front bank, rotate the crankshaft until the camshafts are in the neutral position, then take out the timing chain, water pump pulley and oil seal retainer, then do the same thing to the front camshafts, rocker arms and the lash adjusters. In the inspection, examine all hydraulic lash adjusters to determine wear, measure their diameter, and examine the condition of rocker arms and cam lobe damage. Measure camshaft lobe lift and wear of bearings journals by using Plastigage to measure oil clearance. To install, lubricate, and install the rocker arms and the lash adjusters, then the camshafts and the bearing caps and tighten them in order. Lastly, put in the timing chain and cover, reconnect the battery and ensure there are no leaks once the engine is started. In the case of the 3.7L engine, it is important to have the engine out and specially designed camshaft holding tools and repeat a similar exercise during the removal and installation whilst checking the clearances of the valves and proper lubrication in the entire engine.
