camshaft

Degreeing a camshaft is the process of aligning the camshaft with the crankshaft in an internal combustion engine. This is important to ensure that the valves open and close at the correct time in relation to the piston’s movement. Degreeing a camshaft can be done using a variety of methods, but the most common method is to use a degree wheel and a dial indicator.

There are several benefits to degreeing a camshaft. First, it can help to improve engine performance by ensuring that the valves are opening and closing at the correct time. Second, it can help to reduce emissions by preventing the engine from running too rich or too lean. Third, it can help to extend the life of the engine by reducing wear and tear on the valvetrain.

Replacing the camshaft position sensor B on a 2013 BMW 328i is a relatively simple procedure that can be completed in about an hour. This sensor is responsible for providing the engine control module with information about the position of the camshaft, which is essential for proper engine timing. A faulty camshaft position sensor can cause a variety of problems, including engine misfires, rough idling, and reduced power. Replacing a camshaft sensor generally costs $200-400.

The camshaft position sensor B is located on the rear of the engine, near the top of the cylinder head. To replace the sensor, you will need a new sensor, a 10mm socket wrench, and a flathead screwdriver.
