The Camshaft Thrust Support, also known as the Camshaft End Plug, is a small but important component in an engine's valvetrain. Its purpose is to prevent excessive forward and backward movement of the camshaft during operation by providing a stable mounting point for the front end of the camshaft. This helps to ensure proper timing and valve operation, as well as reducing wear and tear on other components in the valvetrain. The Camshaft Thrust Support is typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum to withstand the high stresses and temperatures encountered in an engine's operation. It is designed to fit specific engines and must be carefully installed according to manufacturer specifications for optimal performance.
