A valve timing control system includes of a cylindrical sprocket driven through a timing chain by a crankshaft of the engine. An arm is fixed to one end section of the camshaft and located inside the sprocket in a manner to extend generally diametrically. First and second plungers are slidably disposed respectively in first and second cylindrical bores formed in the sprocket. A hydraulic pressure chamber is defined between the bottom portion of each plunger and the bottom wall of the cylindrical bore so as to be supplied with a hydraulic pressure from a hydraulic pressure source. Each plunger is projectable toward the arm upon supply of the hydraulic pressure to the corresponding hydraulic pressure chamber thereby to cause the arm to rotate relative to the sprocket. Projections of the first and second plungers induce the rotational movements of the arm in opposite directions relative to the sprocket, respectively. The rotational movements of the arm cause the camshaft to undergo relative rotation which advances or retards the valve timing of the intake and/or exhaust valves.
