2. Camshaft
Oil passages are provided in the intake camshaft in order to supply engine oil to the VVT-i system.
A VVT-i controller is provided on the front of the intake camshaft to vary the timing of the intake valves.
A Timing rotor is provided behind the intake camshaft to trigger the camshaft position sensor.
3. Timing Chain and Chain Tensioner
A roller type timing chain with an 8.0 mm (0.315 in.) pitch is used to make the engine compact and reduce
noise.
The timing chain is lubricated by an oil jet.
The chain tensioner uses a spring and oil pressure to maintain proper chain tensioner at all times. The chain
tensioner suppresses noise generated by the timing chain.
A ratchet type non-return mechanism is used in the chain tensioner.
