Zusammenfassung:A camshaft adjustment mechanism is provided having a rotor adapted to be connected to a camshaft, a stator arranged around the rotor, and a cover associated with the stator. An advance chamber and a separate retard chamber are formed between the rotor and the stator and separated from each other by a vane extending from the rotor. The camshaft adjustment mechanism further includes a locking apparatus adapted to lock the rotor from rotation. A first oil control valve is associated with the advance chamber and the retard chamber to control oil flow to the advance chamber and the retard chamber. A second oil control valve is associated with the locking apparatus to control oil flow to the locking apparatus.
