The cam shaft lifts the valve stems to actuate the valves on the engine, controling air intake to the cylinder, exhaust from the cylinder,along with duration of these two events.

It actuates the valves in synchronized time with the intake and exhaust strokes of the pistons.

THE CAMSHAFT ROTATES INSIDE THE ENGINE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE VALVES IN THE CYLENDER HEAD TO ALLOW AIR GAS AND EXHAUST TO ENTER AND EXIT YOUR ENGINE

It spins around so the valves know when to open to let gas in and then exhust out. it's a engine part.

it is to make the pistons to go up and down to make the engine run when the gas goes into the pistons then the spark plug sparks it off the makes the motor run
