This little guy’s job is pretty straightforward – it’s a toothed wheel that connects directly to the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes your engine’s valves, and the sprocket is what gets the power from the engine’s timing chain or belt to the camshaft. It essentially translates the engine’s rotation into the precise movements needed to control those valves. It’s a simple part, but it has to be really accurate. Think of it as a critical link in the timing puzzle of your engine. The timing chain or belt wraps around this sprocket, and also around other sprockets like the crankshaft sprocket. They all work together to make sure everything happens at exactly the right time – the valves open when they should, and close when they should. It’s a core component in the valve train. If this sprocket wears out or gets damaged, it throws everything off. You’ll notice if it’s bad because you’ll likely get a misfire, rough idle, loss of power, and the engine might even run poorly or not at all. It’s a pretty robust part generally, but it’s under constant stress and wear. A worn sprocket can also damage the timing chain or camshaft over time, leading to more expensive repairs. It acts like a shield for some of the more sensitive and costly parts up there. You can find replacements pretty easily – we carry a good selection at Fixparts Online, and other auto parts stores will too, but make sure you get the right one for your vehicle's engine. It's one of those things where precision is really important. Buy risk-free: Camshaft Sprocket (MPN 49193) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
