Camshaft Replacement

If your engine is making ticking, knocking, or grinding noises—or you’ve noticed a sharp drop in performance—it may be time for a camshaft replacement. At Rob’s Automotive Repair in Clackamas, Oregon, our ASE-certified technicians specialize in diagnosing and repairing camshaft and internal engine issues for all makes and models.

What Does the Camshaft Do?

Your camshaft is a crucial component of your engine’s timing system. It regulates how and when the intake and exhaust valves open, directly influencing your vehicle’s performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. When a camshaft begins to wear, bend, or break, your engine can misfire, lose power, or fail entirely.

A damaged camshaft can lead to:

  • Valve and piston damage
  • Timing chain or belt failure
  • Lifter or pushrod bending
  • Rough idling, stalling, or loss of power

Addressing camshaft problems early can prevent catastrophic engine damage and save you from costly repairs or replacements down the road.

Common Symptoms of Camshaft Problems

If you experience any of the following signs, schedule an inspection right away:

  • Clinking, ticking, or grinding noises from the engine
  • Severe power loss or hesitation while accelerating
  • Rough idle or misfires
  • Check engine light illuminated
  • Metal shavings in the oil

Ignoring these symptoms can cause extensive engine damage. Our team at Rob’s Automotive Repair uses advanced diagnostic tools to confirm whether your camshaft—and not another component—is the root cause.

    Rob’s Automotive Repair was wonderful! I took my car in to be thoroughly inspected for any issues. They were photographed and assessed and then sent to me for approval before any work was done. They gave me options about what was needed … read more now, and issues that I could have done later. I like the way they do business and knew I could trust them. I would highly recommend to family and friends. Cheyenne was my representative who helped me…excellent!!! They even offer rides to and from their business for free (Lyft).
