Crankshaft sprocket
Fig. 39: Crankshaft sprocket
The crankshaft sprocket (3) has three gear teeth: two toothed
chain gear wheels for the camshaft drive (2) and one roller chain
gear wheel (1) for the oil pump drive chain.
Note
The sprocket will also be fitted to a 12-cylinder engine variant
which will be available in the future. Please observe the instal-
lation instructions and the relevant labels (V8 Front/V12 Front)
when fitting the sprocket.
On the V-12 engine, the sprocket is fitted the other way round,
with the oil pump gear wheel to the rear.
