Camshaft Buttons

JEGS offers a wide cam thrust button, camshaft thrust plate, and roller cam button selection as well as other components to help you complete your next project and optimize your engine's performance. Whether you're upgrading your car's valvetrain or simply need to replace a worn-out camshaft button, JEGS has you covered.

Camshaft buttons, also known as cam thrust buttons or roller cam buttons, are designed to control the lateral movement of the camshaft in the engine. They help maintain proper alignment between the camshaft and the timing chain or gear, reducing wear on the camshaft and other valvetrain components. Adding a camshaft button to your car can improve valvetrain stability and prolong the life of your engine, especially in high-performance applications where the forces exerted on the camshaft are greater.

A bad camshaft can manifest in several ways, including reduced engine performance, rough idling, misfires, and poor fuel economy. You may also hear unusual noises, such as a ticking or tapping sound, coming from the engine. If you suspect that your camshaft is damaged or worn, it's important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your engine and its components.

The cost of camshaft buttons can vary depending on the type, brand, and material. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $50 for a camshaft button. It's important to invest in high-quality camshaft components to ensure the longevity and performance of your engine. Keep in mind that additional costs may be incurred if you need professional installation or other related parts.
