By controlling hydraulic flow to the cam phasing mechanism, it helps maintain accurate valve timing response under changing engine conditions. This part number, OCVK-020, is listed for select Hyundai Azera, Santa Fe, Genesis, and Kia Cadenza, K900, Sedona, and Sorento applications with exhaust (left) placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAisin manufactures this valve using OE-level production methods and resin molding technology to keep the component lightweight without changing its functional role. This makes the OCVK-020 a practical replacement when the original valve is no longer responding correctly. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 918-031 and Gates VVS178 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper VVT oil control when timing response becomes inconsistent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing rough idle or drivability issues tied to valve timing control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a worn or sticking oil control valve in the VVT system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting fault conditions related to exhaust-side cam timing control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify engine code, model year, and exhaust-side left fitment before ordering.
