AG Mechanics CDE Practice Exam

In the L-head arrangement, where is the camshaft located?

1. In the crankcase

2. In the cylinder block

3. In the cylinder head

4. Above the piston head

The correct answer is: In the crankcase

In the L-head arrangement, the camshaft is located in the crankcase. This positioning allows for the camshaft to be placed directly over the crankshaft, creating a compact and simpler design. The camshaft in this setup operates the valves through pushrods and lifters, making it an integral component of the engine's valve train system. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the location of the camshaft in an L-head arrangement.
