A variable valve timing control device includes a housing member, a rotor
member assembled to the housing member so as to be rotatable relative
thereto and including vane portions each forming an advanced angle
chamber and a retarded angle chamber within the housing member, a stopper
formed on the convex portion for restricting a relative rotation between
the housing member and the rotor member, a lock mechanism for restricting
the relative rotation by a lock member, and a fluid pressure circuit for
controlling an operation oil to be supplied to or discharged from the
advanced angle chamber, the retarded angle chamber, and the lock
mechanism. When the relative rotation is restricted, the lock member is
in contact with an inner peripheral face of the receiving hole on the
advanced angle side and the retarded angle side between an opening
portion and a bottom portion of the receiving hole.
