The distributing shaft (on the exhaust side) is directly driven by the chain and transmits the
motion to the distributing shaft (on the intake side) by means of a pair or straight-toothed
gears.
The distributing shaft on the exhaust side also drives the high-pressure pump, whereas the
one on the intake side drives the vacuum pump.
3.2.14 Tappets
A hydraulic tappet is used for every single valve, which is actuated by a rocker arm that is, in
turn, driven by the cam axle.
The rocker arms are made in such a way as to avoid serious damage to the other engine
members in case of timing chain breaking or stepping. In fact, they are able, thanks to a pre-
established fracture section, to get deformed so as to absorb the stress caused by the contact
between the valves and the pistons.
