CONSTRUCTION
A cam that drives the high-pressure fuel pump is positioned in both banks of the exhaust camshaft sub-assembly. Also, a pump cam with 3 peaks is used for the cam that drives the high-pressure fuel pump, and by synchronizing fuel pressure-feeding and fuel injection, the difference in fuel pressure between cylinders is reduced.
The stem of the camshaft is made hollow, achieving weight reduction.
The cam profile is shaped into a concave curve, increasing valve lift and improving output.
A timing rotor, which is used for the camshaft position sensor and has a structure with 3 protrusions, is provided for the intake camshaft sub-assembly and exhaust camshaft sub-assembly.
