ABSTRACT:
A variable valve timing system includes helical splines to effect a relative rotation between an input member and an output member. The output member drives an intake and an exhaust valve against the urging force of a valve spring. The valve spring gives an undesired torque to the output member. The helical splines have backlash and the undesired torque causes a hitting noise. Therefore, a guide depression filled with viscous fluid is formed in front of the input member and a projection located and moved in the depression is formed in front of the output member. The depression and the projection with the viscous fluid form a damper to absorb the undesired torque.
