Default KV6 Engine repair.

Can the Camshafts be mounted by rotating it 180° ?

Default KV6 Engine repair

In a garage, the exhaust and intake camshafts were relocated and incorrectly assembled. The car did not work because it did not see the cam sensor. Then the connections were fixed and the car started.

What makes me think now; the parts are assembled in the right place. However, would the insertion directions of the camshafts cause problems?

Hi Özkan,

If your engine is now running properly then apparently not!

Thanks for your answer.
Intake camshafts to which the beam is attached can be installed in both directions, but
impeller bores and shaft protrusions are not in the same position on both sides.
That's why I wanted an expert opinion.

See photos from both sides, gear notches and position of protrusions.
