drain by the solenoid valve itself). Thus, the rotor – and, therefore, the camshaft – is made to
rotate in one given direction (advance or delay).
If the oil flows into both openings alternately and continuously for an equal time period,
dynamic pressure balance will be achieved at the two rotor sides: as a result, the rotor will be
stationary.
The advance position corresponds to the rest position: in fact, the spring that acts as a flexible
coupling (i.e. prevents the camshaft play from occurring especially when the vehicle is started,
due to poor oil pressure) is loaded to the advance position.
