WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The world engine is equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This system advances and/or retards intake and/or exhaust camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque, idle quality, fuel economy, and reduce emissions. The camshaft sprockets are integrated with the VVT assemblies and are serviced as an assembly. VVT assemblies are sometimes referred to as camshaft phasers.
