Ford Capri Camshaft Overview
The camshaft is a critical component in the engine timing control system of a vehicle, playing a pivotal role in the performance and efficiency of the engine. In the case of a classic model like the Ford Capri, maintaining the camshaft is essential for preserving the car's vintage charm and operational integrity. The camshaft works by opening and closing the valves in sync with the engine's pistons, ensuring that fuel and air are introduced to the combustion chamber at the right time, and exhaust gases are expelled accordingly.
Signs of Camshaft Wear in Your Ford Capri
Over time, the camshaft in your Ford Capri may exhibit signs of wear or damage. Symptoms such as rough idling, decreased acceleration, increased fuel consumption, or even engine misfires can indicate that the camshaft requires attention. It's crucial for Ford Capri owners to be vigilant and responsive to such signs to maintain the vehicle's performance and longevity.
Choosing the Right Camshaft
When selecting a replacement camshaft for your Ford Capri, it's important to opt for a component that matches the specifications of your vehicle. Compatibility with your Capri's engine type ensures that the new camshaft will restore the engine parts harmony and provide the best possible performance. Whether you're looking to maintain the original driving characteristics or enhance the engine's output, the right camshaft can make a significant difference.

What is a Camshaft?
A camshaft sits at the engine's top end and is a vital component of your car's valve train, which allows air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber. Modern engines can have up to four camshafts (dual cams) with four valves per cylinder. The camshaft usually has egg-shaped cams that open and close the engine valves. It is driven by the crankshaft by the timing system, connected by a timing belt or timing chain.
Signs of a Broken Camshaft
There are a few signs your camshaft might be damaged. these include:
- Engine check light - this can be on for a number of reasons, but if it coincides with the other symptoms, then it might be worth checking your camshaft
- Lack of acceleration - if your vehicle accelerates poorly, it could be a sign of a broken camshaft
- Prone to stalling - if your car is stalling a lot, then you should get your camshaft checked
