Tech Byte: The Evolution of Timing System Complexity Tech Videos |May 14, 2026 In the world of engine design, “simple” is a thing of the past. In this video, we dive into why modern timing chain systems require so many more components than traditional pushrod engines. What we cover: -Pushrod vs. DOHC: Comparing the compact timing of a GM LS engine to a modern high-feature V6. -The Distance Factor: How moving camshafts to the top of the cylinder head necessitates longer chains and more robust support systems. -Critical Components: The role of tensioners and guides in maintaining precision over greater distances. At Cloyes, we’re dedicated to providing the technical knowledge and high-quality parts needed to master these complex systems. Subscribe for more technical insights and installation tips!
