ABSTRACT:
A camshaft phaser for an internal combustion engine includes a rotor which is rotationally coupled to a camshaft and a hydraulic positioning system for timing the rotor and camshaft with respect to the crankshaft of an engine. A bypass circuit permits hydraulic fluid, such as engine lubricating oil, to flow through at least a portion of the phaser without affecting timing of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft. In this manner, the phaser may be warmed up rapidly, without adversely affecting engine operation.
