Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket P/N:VVT597
Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket P/N:VVT597
$303.99

Keep your Subaru's variable valve timing responding accurately with the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket VVT597. This is the intake (left) VVT sprocket, working with the engine's variable valve timing system to phase the intake camshaft based on oil pressure and ECM control. It drops in as a direct-fit OE replacement for the 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca, 2008-2009 Subaru Legacy, and 2001-2004 & 2006-2008 Subaru Outback — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Direct-fit OE replacement: designed to integrate with the factory VVT system so the intake (left) camshaft phases as intended.
  • Lower leakage and lash: extensively designed to reduce leakage and lash for smoother, quieter operation.
  • OE-matching tooth profiles: sprocket tooth profiles matched to OE for quiet operation.
  • Precision-machined: machined for accurate variable valve timing — if a worn or faulty sprocket is the cause of a rough idle or drivability complaint, this replaces it.
  • 100% end-of-line tested: tested to meet or exceed OE performance.
