CONSTRUCTION
Intake and exhaust efficiency has been increased due to larger total port areas.
This engine uses No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assemblies with built-in needle bearings. This reduces the friction that occurs between the cams and the areas (No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly) that push the valves down, thus improving fuel economy.
Valve lash adjuster assemblies, which maintain a constant zero valve clearance through the use of oil pressure and spring force, are used.
The intake camshaft (camshaft) and exhaust camshaft (No. 2 camshaft) are driven by a chain sub-assembly.
This engine uses a Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) system which controls the intake camshaft (camshaft) and exhaust camshaft (No. 2 camshaft) to provide optimal valve timing according to driving conditions. With this, lower fuel consumption, higher engine performance, and reduced exhaust emissions have been achieved.
