The Dual VVT-i system is used to improve fuel economy and engine performance and reduce exhaust emissions.
The intake and exhaust camshafts are driven by a timing chain.
Valve rocker arm sub-assemblies with the built-in needle bearings are used. This reduces the friction that occurs between the cams and the areas (valve rocker arms) that push the valves down, thus improving fuel economy.
The valve lash adjuster assembly, which maintains a constant zero valve clearance through the use of oil pressure and spring force, is used.
