CVVT(Continuously Variable Valve Timing) System

The CVVT, which is installed on the exhaust camshaft controls intake valve
open and close timing in order to improve engine performance.
The intake valve timing is optimized by CVVT system depending on engine rpm.

2. Camshaft-intake and housing of CVVT is connected by chain

( Sprocket is attached on housing. So, phase difference occurs between Housing

and Rotor Vane of CVVT).

3. Rotor vane is fixed on housing by stopper pin at the position of the maximum retard
retard

4. If the oil is supplied to advance chamber, Housing will be advanced and stopper pin is

unlocked.

5. Timing of intake-camshaft is advanced.

6. Engine off condition. The oil is drained from the advance chamber, the housing returned

to retard position and fixed by pin due to lock of position
