RE: Cam and Camshaft; lets talk about what makes the valves move
Most of the time those people do not really know which is which.
That being said, the issue common with the two is if the timing goes off and the engine simply stops running i.e the crank shaft and cam shaft are out of sync.
Or a broken, cracked out bent cam/crank shaft which doesn't happen everyday.
I think i will find it rather amusing if i see a (untrained, uneducated) commercial bus driver that knows what the cam/crank shaft is and does.
Except the bus driver is a mechanic, he most likely wouldn't know what a camshaft does, and even the mechanics do not pronounce it correctly, you'll hear something entirely different like caneshaft. That pronunciation confused me enough when I just began learning about engines and wanted to see one for myself.
Ok, that makes sense.
