The camshafts are made of cast iron alloy.
Oil passages are provided in the intake and exhaust camshafts in order to supply engine oil to the VVT-i system.
A camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly are installed on the front of their respective camshafts to vary the timing of the intake and exhaust valves.
Together with the use of the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assemblies, the cam profile is modified. This results in increased valve lift when the valve begins to open and as it finishes closing, helping to achieve enhanced output performance.
