Dorman 918702 Camshaft Phaser Variable Valve Timing Sprocket

The Dorman 918-702 Camshaft Phaser is a direct-replacement variable valve timing (VVT) sprocket engineered to restore proper engine timing control. Also commonly referred to as a cam phaser or variable valve timing actuator, this component plays a critical role in engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions compliance by dynamically adjusting camshaft position while the engine is running.

Camshaft phasers are computer-controlled, oil-pressure-actuated devices. Engine oil is routed through passages in the cylinder head and camshaft into the phaser unit, where the engine control module (ECM) directs oil flow through internal vane chambers to advance or retard camshaft timing as operating conditions demand. A worn or failed phaser can result in engine noise, rough idle, poor performance, or timing-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Key Features:

• Direct OE Replacement — Engineered to match original equipment fit, form, and function for a straightforward installation
• 100% New Construction — Not remanufactured; built from new components for full service life
• Precision Machined — Manufactured to tight tolerances for reliable oil pressure response and accurate cam timing adjustment
• Validation Tested — Vehicle-specific design has been tested to meet or exceed OEM performance standards
• Restores Engine Performance — Replaces a worn or failed VVT sprocket to eliminate timing noise and restore proper power delivery
• Sold Individually — One phaser included per package

Part of Dorman's OE Solutions line, the 918-702 is designed for mechanics and DIYers who need a reliable, no-compromise replacement for a failing camshaft phaser. Always verify fitment using your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine before installation.
