Can a camshaft failure be a front wheel drive problem?
Camshaft failure is a major repair for any type of engine design, whether it be overhead valve (OHV) or overhead cam (OHC). It doesn’t matter if the engine is a rear wheel drive (RWD) vehicle or one that is front wheel drive (FWD), this job is going to take some time.
What does a tappet do in an overhead cam engine?
This is slightly incorrect, as the noise can be down to a multitude of components within an engine’s valvetrain. However, a tappet (also known as a cam follower or lifter) is a small cylindrical mechanism which is attached to the end of the pushrod(in overhead valve engines) or the rocker arm (in overhead cam engines).
Is the 3.7 Magnum an overhead cam engine?
If you have power mods on your engine you can consider adding some cooling modifications but I don’t recommend that for stock engines. The 3.7 Magnum is a single overhead cam engine (SOHC). Because the camshaft in overhead cam engines is located in the cylinder head, they do not technically have lifters.
