VALVE MECHANISM
1. General
The valves are directly opened and closed by 4 camshafts.
The exhaust camshafts are driven by a timing belt, while the intake camshafts are driven through gears
on the exhaust camshafts.
The VVT-i system used for the intake camshaft is adopted to realize excellent fuel economy, engine perfor-
mance and reduce exhaust emissions.
For details, see page EG-41 in the VVT-i system section.

2. Camshafts
The camshafts are made of cast iron alloy.
In conjunction with the adoption of the VVT-i system, an oil passage is provided in the intake camshaft
in order to supply engine oil t to the VVT-i system.
A VVT-i controller has been installed on the back of the intake camshaft to vary the timing of the intake
valves.
To detect the camshaft position, a timing rotor that is provided on the VVT-i controller is used to generate
3 pulses for every 2 revolutions of the crankshaft.
The intake camshafts are driven by gears on the exhaust camshafts. The scissors gear mechanism is used
on drive gear of the exhaust camshaft to control backlash and suppress gear noise.

Service Tip
The adjusting shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.050 mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.500 (0.0984
in.) to 3.300 (0.1299 in.).
For details, refer to see the 2002 LEXUS ES300 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM911U).
3. Intake and Exhaust Valve and Valve Lifter
Narrower valve stems have been adopted to reduce the intake and exhaust resistance and for weight reduc-
tion.
The adjusting shim has been located directly above the valve lifter. This construction allows the adjusting
shim to be replaced without removing the camshaft, which improves the serviceability during valve clear-
ance adjustment.
A cutout is provided in the valve lifter to improve the serviceability of replacing the adjusting shims.

4. Timing Belt
The timing belt tooth configuration has been de-
signed to help to reduce noise and to enable the
belt to transmit power under high load factors.
5. Timing Belt Tensioner
The timing belt tensioner uses a spring and silicon
oil damper, and maintains proper timing belt ten-
sion at all times.
The timing belt tensioner suppresses noise gener-
ated by the timing belt.
