All camshafts have (1) bearing journals and (2) lobes.

As discussed previously, the

turning of the cam lobes controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust
valves. Camshafts can also have additional lobes that provide injection pressure to fuel
injectors.

All in-line engines and some V-engines have one camshaft. Some V-engine models
have two camshafts, one for each bank of cylinders.
