1. A valve timing controller which controls opening-and-closing timing of a valve driven by a driven shaft by changing a rotation phase of the driven shaft to a driving shaft of an internal combustion engine, the valve timing controller comprising:
a housing which is rotatable integrally with one of the driving shaft and the driven shaft, the housing having a first stopper surface and a second stopper surface; a vane rotor including a boss part which is rotatable integrally with the other of the driving shaft and the driven shaft inside the housing, and a vane part which divides a space partitioned by the housing and the boss part into an advance chamber and a retard chamber, the vane rotor relatively rotating relative to the housing on an advance side or a retard side according to a pressure of oil in the advance chamber and the retard chamber; and a stopper pin projected from the boss part of the vane rotor to the housing in an axial direction, the stopper pin regulating a relative rotation position of the vane rotor to the housing to a maximum advance position by contacting the first stopper surface of the housing, the stopper pin regulating the relative rotation position of the vane rotor to the housing to a maximum retard position by contacting the second stopper surface of the housing, wherein; the boss part of the vane rotor has a plurality of metal plates layered with each other in the axial direction, at least one metal plate of the plurality of metal plates has a hole in which the stopper pin is inserted, and a nail projected from an inner wall of the hole toward the stopper pin so as to hold the stopper pin, and the at least one metal plate having both the hole and the nail is a first metal plate, and the other of the plurality of metal plates is a second metal plate having only the hole in which the stopper pin is inserted. |
