The engine's timing components are located at the "rear of the engine." And feature timing chains——to drive the camshafts and high pressure fuel pump, "and a wet belt to drive the oil pump."
Most of the development and engineering work for the LM2 Duramax, as well as primary calibration took place in Turin, Italy. The engine is being produced at Flint Engine Operations. A test by, Car and Driver showed 40 MPG is possible when hypermiling.
