ABSTRACT:
Two embodiments of VVT mechanisms for internal combustion engines. The VVT mechanisms are hydraulically operated by the engine lubricating oil through control passages formed in the forward-most bearing portion of the camshaft. However, spaced on both sides of these control passages, there are provided lubricant supplies to the forwardmost and rearward most ends of the forward bearing surfaces of the camshaft so as to provide good lubrication, particularly in the more highly loaded forwardmost portion thereof.
