ABSTRACT:
An intake- and/or exhaust-valve timing control system for an internal combustion engine comprises a timing belt pulley having a driven connection with an engine crankshaft, a camshaft journaled by a bearing member mounted on a cylinder head and receiving torque transmitted from the timing belt pulley, a ring gear mechanism for adjusting a relative phase angle between the timing belt pulley and the camshaft. The valve timing control system includes a first hydraulic circuit provided for drivingly controlling the ring gear mechanism via fluid pressure depending upon the operating state of the engine and a second hydraulic circuit provided for lubricating frictional surfaces between the bearing member and the camshaft. The first and second hydraulic circuits are separated from each other. The valve timing control system includes a directional control valve connected to the first hydraulic circuit for switching the direction of working fluid flowing through the first hydraulic circuit.
