ABSTRACT:
A chain and sprocket system includes a plurality of chains and phased or offset sprockets. The transmission system includes a random or hybrid chain with the offset sprockets. The timing system can include single or dual overhead camshafts, with phasing of the crankshaft sprockets and camshaft sprockets. The initial contacts of each chain assembly with the sprockets are phased or offset with respect to one another.
