[DeTomaso] NPC (except me) Coyote Almost Complete

[Corey Price]

Jeff,

It’s interesting yet most new engines do the same. The chains are tensioned using curved plastic chain guides. Modular Fords have been doing this a long time.  I’m not sure if the chains rubbing on the guides produce a lot of friction. 

I will say that the VVT system makes timing the system easy. Timing is variable up to 50 degrees and so setting up the cams to be degree’d is obsolete.

   Jeff,

   It's interesting yet most new engines do the same. The chains are
   tensioned using curved plastic chain guides. Modular Fords have been
   doing this a long time.  I'm not sure if the chains rubbing on the
   guides produce a lot of friction.

   I will say that the VVT system makes timing the system easy. Timing is
   variable up to 50 degrees and so setting up the cams to be degree'd is
   obsolete.
