Camshaft and Drive System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

A billet steel one piece camshaft is supported by five bearings pressed into the engine block. The camshaft has a machined camshaft sensor reluctor ring incorporated between the fourth and fifth bearing journals. The camshaft timing sprocket is mounted to the front of the camshaft and is driven by the crankshaft sprocket through the camshaft timing chain. The crankshaft sprocket is splined and drives the oil pump driven gear. A retaining plate mounted to the front of the engine block maintains camshaft location.
