The camshafts are made of cast iron alloy.
Oil passages are provided on the intake and exhaust camshafts in order to supply engine oil to the VVT-i system.
Camshaft timing gear assemblies (LH and RH) and camshaft timing exhaust gear assemblies (LH and RH) are installed on the front of the camshafts to vary the timing of the intake and exhaust valves.
Together with the use of the roller rocker arms, the cam profile has been modified. This results in increased valve lift when the valve begins to open and as it finishes closing, helping to achieve enhanced output performance.
