Oldsmobile Omega Variable Timing Sprocket

Oldsmobile Omega Variable Timing Sprocket enhances the engine punch by ensuring events between camshaft and crankshaft are precisely synchronized to ensure every explosion happens on time. Working together with the chain, the sprocket has marks for factory build, but performance versions require a finer accuracy than just lining up. On certain Variable Timing Sprocket designs, there are multiple keyways on the crank gear. This allows builders to nudge cam timing forward or backward in small steps. On other Variable Timing Sprocket designs, offset bushings or elongated slots in the cam gear are applied to achieve this goal. Once tuned with a degree wheel, locking it in via the chosen Variable Timing Sprocket style restores full potential because even a two degree error will steal roughly 50 horsepower. A timing advance gives the Omega stronger low rpm pull, while a retard shifts strength higher into the rev range. No matter what kind it is, replacing chain, guides, tensioners, and both gears as a matched set will ensure any Oldsmobile stays reliable, and correct installation will have any Omega just waiting to rev. A properly chosen Variable Timing Sprocket is small hardware that has a big influence on performance to any Oldsmobile enthusiast.

Each OEM Oldsmobile Omega Variable Timing Sprocket we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

Oldsmobile Omega Variable Timing Sprocket Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove and install the Timing Chain and Variable Timing Sprocket on Oldsmobile Omega?
    A:
    If an engine has been removed from the car, some of the procedures described below should be ignored as well. First of all, you should degrade the torsional damper and the crankcase cover. Next, rotate the engine until that mark on the sprockets matches the other so that both sprockets and the chain cannot be removed from the engine in the wrong position. Then, take out the three camshaft sprocket retaining bolts and raise the camshaft sprocket and the timing chain up from the front of the engine with a tap of a soft-faced mallet if require. In the case when the crankcase sprocket has to be removed, use a puller which is designated for such operations. Fit the crankshaft sprocket to the crankshaft with a bolt and washer of the puller set. Next drop in the timing chain onto the camshaft sprocket with the slack downwards over the crankshaft sprocket. Slide the chain over the crankshaft sprocket, then bring the camshaft sprocket home with the three screws on the front, using a lot of care that you do not hammer since you can knock the freeze plug at the back of the engine. After the chain and both the sprockets have been fitted, ensure that the marks on the two sprockets coincide but if they do not, then the camshaft sprocket should be removed again to facilitate the alignment of marks. Last but not the least, apply the engine oil on the chain and put back all the parts in reverse manner that they were dismantled.
