N55 Engine

Camshafts

Lightweight camshafts as well as cast camshafts or a mixture of both were installed in

N54 engines. Only lightweight construction camshafts are used on the N55 engine.

The lightweight camshafts for the N55 are manufactured in an internal high pressure

forming process called hydroforming. The exhaust camshaft features bearing races and

is encapsulated in a camshaft housing. The camshaft housing reduces oil foaming during

operation.
