With an inside diameter of 1.8 inches (45.72 mm) and an outside diameter of 3.1 inches (78.74 mm), this component fits securely on the crankshaft of compatible Nissan models. The thickness and tooth width both measure 0.2 inches (5.08 mm), ensuring consistent performance and durability. This sprocket is non-adjustable and does not include hardware, so it is intended for direct replacement in the valve train system.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This engine variable valve timing sprocket is compatible with the following Nissan vehicles:

• Nissan 200SX
• Nissan NX
• Nissan Sentra

It is designed to maintain proper valve timing, which is critical for engine efficiency, power delivery, and emissions control in these models.

Common Issues Addressed by the VVT541 Sprocket

• Irregular or poor engine timing causing reduced performance
• Valve timing chain slippage or wear leading to engine noise
• Degraded fuel efficiency due to improper valve timing
• Engine misfires or rough idling related to timing component failure
• Replacement of worn or damaged crankshaft sprocket in the valve train

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition VVT541 sprocket, ensure the engine is cool and the timing chain is properly aligned with the timing marks.
