Timing Components: Description and Operation

VALVE TIMING

DESCRIPTION





The timing drive system (Fig. 133) 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 not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left sprocket.
