Diagram ref no 22.

This sprocket (gear) is part of the timing / camshaft drive system, engaging with the timing chain (or drive chain) to convert crankshaft rotational motion into synchronized camshaft motion. It ensures that the camshafts open and close valves at the correct moments relative to piston position, essential for proper combustion, engine efficiency, and emissions. Accurate tooth profile, hardness, and alignment are crucial—improperly manufactured or worn sprockets can lead to timing drift, noise, chain jump, or catastrophic engine damage.

Original stock / old timing gears can wear, fatigue, or lose tooth integrity over time — especially under heat cycles and chain load. A worn or mismatched sprocket may cause timing chain noise (ticking, rattle), timing drift, or—worst case—chain jump or engine damage. An new replacement restores correct tooth geometry, material hardness, and precision alignment, ensuring the timing system operates smoothly and reliably.
