Overview

The Katech Engineering BTR Gen 5 LT VVT Cam Phaser Lockout is a mechanical lockout designed for Chevrolet Gen V engines. It prevents the VVT mechanism from retarding in high horsepower applications with high cylinder pressures. Excessive cylinder pressure can force the VVT mechanism to retard, and this lockout addresses that issue.
Show original supplier description
The Katech Engineering BTR Gen 5 LT VVT Cam Phaser Lockout is a crucial component for Chevrolet Gen V engines experiencing high horsepower and high cylinder pressures. In such demanding conditions, increased cylinder pressures can exert enough force to cause the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) mechanism to retard excessively. To properly install and utilize this cam phaser lockout, additional tools are required. The product page specifies the need for a phase limiter tool, such as the Comp Cams 5456 for LT1 engines or the 5450 for LT4 engines, or a spanner wrench. These tools are necessary to complete the installation and ensure correct functionality. This component is compatible with a range of Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles equipped with Gen V LT engines, primarily those with 6.2L displacements. Specific fitment includes models like the 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (LT1), 2016-2017 Chevrolet SS (LS3), 2017-2019 Cadillac CTS-V (LT4), and 2017-2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (LS3), among others. Ensure your vehicle's engine and year align with the detailed fitment list for proper integration.
