Detailed Product Description

The VC110 sprocket is a critical component in the valve train system, responsible for controlling the timing of the engine’s valves through the variable valve timing mechanism. Its steel build offers strength and resistance to wear, while the single chain row and 40-tooth configuration provide accurate engagement with the timing chain. The sprocket’s dimensions, including a 3.7-inch outside diameter and 0.415-inch inside diameter, are designed to fit specific engine models. The inclusion of mounting hardware and 36 mounting holes with a 1.417-inch diameter ensures a secure and precise installation. Two timing marks on the sprocket assist technicians in aligning the component correctly during installation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications
