A
"cam engine" refers to an internal combustion engine that uses a camshaft to control the opening and closing of the engine's valves. The camshaft has lobes that push on the valves, allowing fuel and air to enter the combustion chamber and exhaust gases to exit. This system helps regulate the engine's timing and makes it run smoothly and efficiently.
