The Chevrolet Caprice Variable Timing Sprocket controls the valve timing for maximum power and economy by precisely aligning camshaft and crankshaft timing. This Variable Timing Sprocket forms one kit with the chain, cam gear, and crank gear, all of which should be swapped together to avoid slack or jump. Even a two degree slip can steal about 50 horsepower, so performance-minded Caprice owners first use a degree wheel and then trim the final settings with the Variable Timing Sprocket. Usually, stock marks are fine, but if you're after certain power bands, advancing the cam for more launch torque or retarding it for top-end surge is possible with the keyway or a tunable Variable Timing Sprocket with offset bushings or long slots. While the two versions serve the same purpose, they are slightly different. The multi-keyway units give fixed steps. The slotted or bushed designs give finer increments. When you have all the parts replaced together, the Variable Timing Sprocket, the chain, the tensioner, and the guides, every Chevrolet engine is quiet, safe, and responsive. By regularly maintaining the high-mileage Caprice, it stays lively and keeps Chevrolet fans confident at any rpm.
