RE: Cam and Camshaft; lets talk about what makes the valves move
First thing that crossed my mind was that I might not find this article fascinating.
And that's how I read till the end... I still don't get the way y'all make your articles so inviting. Good one
From the statement below;
The rotation of the cam shaft is dependent on the crankshaft. This allows for the opening and closing of the valves to happen at the right time and frequency. The cam shaft is usually connected to the crankshaft via the timing belt
Can we say that the crankshaft is even more important than this other guy (cam shaft)?
They both work together without one you can't have the other.
A little sauce and salt to taste!
Just like @adetola said, they are both very important. The crank shaft will not rotate if the engine is not running and the engine will not run if the valves are not opening, the valves cannot open if the camshaft does not do it's work and finally, the cam shaft will not rotate if the crankshaft doesn't.
I hope i didn't confuse you further.
P.S. Dont judge a book by its cover
