CAMSHAFT

The lightweight camshaft is achieved by the hollow
design.
Oil channels run through the intake camshaft,
through which oil is sent from the oil feeder control
valve to the V.V.T. sprocket.

A cam position sensing ring is press-fitted onto the
rear portion of the intake camshaft.

OIL FEEDER CONTROL VALVE (OCV)

The oil feeder control valve is essentially a solenoid
valve, regulated by the engine-ECU signals to feed
oil to the V.V.T. sprocket assembly to move the vane
rotor.

BALANCER RELATION<4B12>

1. BALANCER TIMING CHAIN

• The balancer chain is a silent, endless type, con-

sisting of 72 links. It is installed around the bal-
ancer module sprocket and the crankshaft
sprocket. Two mark link plates (orange and blue)
are installed on the balancer chain to locate the
sprockets. When the balancer chain drives the
balancer module sprocket, the balancer gear
causes the right and left balancer shafts to rotate.

6. BALANCER SHAFT MODULE ASSEMBLY

• The counter balancer shaft is located inside the

oil pan to achieve a compact engine. The bal-
ancer shaft module assembly integrates an oil
pump and a balancer unit to realise a compact
and lightweight package. The balancer shaft
module assembly cannot be disassembled.
