Abstract:
1. A method of setting lash in a cam phaser comprising: providing a cam phaser having a stator, a rotor, a cover, a rotor locking pin, and a motion limiter system; said stator having a first lobe and a second lobe; said rotor having a vane disposed between the first lobe and the second lobe; said rotor defining a first hole in the vane; said motion limiter system including a motion limiter pin having a wall at least partially having a concavity therein and selectively movable within the first hole, a first spring biasing the motion limiter pin in the direction of the second lobe, a motion limiter locking pin being selectively movable into the concavity, a second spring biasing the motion limiter locking pin toward the motion limiter pin; said cover comprising a seat for the rotor locking pin; and rotating the stator in a first direction relative to the rotor and the cover such that the motion limiter pin contacts the first lobe.
