The Camshaft is a very important part that greatly improves the up time of the Chevrolet Prizm cars. Known to be very sturdy, this component controls the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves so as to facilitate the intake of fresh air and expulsion of the combustion products. This efficiency is especially realised in different Prizm models where some of them may come with Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC), and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) depending on the model. Each camshaft type is designed to enhance the performance parameters, and especially at higher revolutions, which makes Chevrolet Prizm one of the best compacts. Except for increasing power of the Camshaft, it also contributes to the safety of the car because it guarantees that the engine runs perfectly. In addition to its universality with relation to several generations of Prizm, the camshaft has a major function in the vehicle's effectiveness, particularly in terms of fuel economy since the car can achieve up to 28/32 mpg, respectively, on city and highway. The Camshaft's lobes can be accurately described as specially designed for the Prizm's precise performance requirements coupled with sturdiness owing to the automotive market. In general, it could be said that the Camshaft is a perfect example of how the brand creates its models, paying special attention to quality, which makes the car incredible for those who are searching for a compact car with high performance.
