In order to set a stage for what follows, let's first revisit some of the fundamentals involved in how valve timing relates to power output. And to further clarify how "power" is defined in the ...

Variable valve timing (VVT) and variable valve lift (VVL) have very similar names, both referring to variable valve performance. Does that mean that they are basically the same thing? The are most ...

Engines are complex bits of machinery. At their core level, yes, it's easy to understand what is happening. Air and fuel enter the engine where they are ignited and combustion occurs resulting in ...

New technology reliably and affordably increases the efficiency of internal combustion engines by more than 10 per cent. The patented system for opening and closing valves could significantly reduce ...

EV and hybrid thermal management is driving smart coolant valves, while turbocharged, hydrogen and commercial engines sustain demand. Asia-Pacific leads manufacturing opportunities.Dublin, Aug. (GLOBE ...

When you check out the features of a new car, you’ll probably be bombarded with glowing words about its engine’s “advanced valvetrain technology.” How did this happen? They don’t shower us with ...

The LS V8's deep-skirt block, thick cylinder walls, and six-bolt mains let stock iron engines reach 1,000 hp without an ...

Mihai has even branched beyond the usual confines of an automotive writer from time to time, however, his heart is still close to anything car-related. He's most at home retelling the story of some ...

Every engine has a means of coordinating the timing between the valve train and the rest of the engine. Some engines use a timing chain and some a timing belt. A timing belt has the relatively ...
