Variable Valve Timing
The relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft is critical.
Efficient Engine Operation – It’s All In The Timing
Fuel, Spark, Air and Compression are all clearly important, but if they all need to happen at the same time.
Advanced Belt Noise Diagnostics
How can you identify these types of alternator pulleys? Find out in this article.
Hyundai 1.6-2.4L Tech Tip: Belts
Check the weights on the shafts before installing belts.
Timing Chains In Hyundai Engines
Although Hyundai uses a single timing belt on its 2.7L V6 engines, its 3.3L, double-overhead camshaft engine is equipped with one timing chain for each camshaft and one drive chain for the oil pump. At first glance, a timing chain design allows engineers to shorten the overall length of the engine and reduce rotating friction.
5 Tricks To Solving Belt Noise
Variables that the engineer did not factor in can put the belt and your diagnostic skills to the test. But there are five techniques you can use to solve belt noise problems.
Honda Tech Tip: Possible Modification To Front Timing Cover
Particular V6 applications described in Honda Bulletin 08-082 may require a small modification to the front timing cover during replacement of the accessory drive belt tensioner.
Timing Chain Replacement: Diagnosis And Repair
Timing chains, with their thinner width, reduce overall engine length and are more durable than timing belts, requiring no scheduled maintenance. Timing chains do make more noise, have higher weight and higher cost than timing belts, though.
Servicing Timing Chain-Driven Water Pumps
Automakers are always trying to remove items from the accessory drive belt. This improves the efficiency of the engine and can extend the life of the belt. But where do you put the water pump? Some manufacturers like Ford and Mazda have driven the pumps with a pulley on the exhaust camshaft. Other manufacturers have
