Patent ID: 11415026

Abstract:
A system for timing a crankshaft and a camshaft in an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head structure with a timing pin hole and a camshaft cavity. The camshaft has a first opening that extends from an outer annular wall of a first shaft towards a longitudinal axis. A cam bushing having a bushing clearance hole is inserted into the camshaft cavity and the camshaft is assembled with the cam bushing and cylinder head structure to align the bearing clearance hole with first opening of the camshaft. A timing pin is inserted through the timing pin hole, bushing clearance hole, and first opening of the camshaft to position the camshaft in a camshaft timing position. The crankshaft is rotated to a crankshaft timing position either before or after the camshaft is rotated for setting a static timing of the crankshaft and camshaft, and the timing pins are removed.
