Abstract
A camshaft phaser is provided that includes a rotor, a stator, and a locking cover. The rotor is selectively locked to the stator via a locking assembly arranged within a locking bore of the rotor. Contaminant particles that enter a first locking end of the bore are exited out a second venting end of the bore via a contaminant particle exit pathway.
