The Variable Timing Sprocket for GMC Jimmy optimizes camshaft timing so the engine breathes at just the right moments for more power throughout the entire RPM range. This component fits on the camshaft sprocket assembly and works with a matched assembly of chain and crank gear to replace factory fixed wheels when the timing set gets serviced. Due to small mark misalignments of two or three degrees robbing up to 50 horsepower, the Variable Timing Sprocket allows builders to fine-tune alignment beyond simple mark to mark assembly. The Variable Timing Sprocket can fine-tune the cam position in measured steps through a multitude of keyways that are machined into the crank gear, plus optional offset bushings or elongated cam slots. Advancing opens intake valves earlier to bump low-end torque useful for towing. Retarding pushes the power higher up in the rev range, making for more spirited runs on the highway. The Variable Timing Sprocket should always be changed as a set (chain, guides, and tensioner) in order to keep wear patterns uniform. Earlier GMC models relied on single position sprockets, but later Jimmy editions adopted the adjustable Variable Timing Sprocket, giving GMC and Jimmy owners the flexibility to tailor performance without internal engine redesign.
