Valve Timing: Description

The timing drive system has been designed to provide quiet performance and reliability to support a NON  free-wheeling engine.

The timing drive components include a crankshaft sprocket, camshaft sprockets, tensioner pulley, hydraulic tensioner and a timing belt. The water pump is driven by the back side of the timing belt. The right and left camshaft sprockets are keyed and not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left sprocket (Fig 1 ).
