The "LS" nomenclature originally came from the Regular Production Option (RPO) code LS1, assigned to the first engine in the Gen III engine series. The LS nickname has since been used to refer generally to all Gen III and IV engines, [14] but that practice can be misleading, since not all engine RPO codes in those generations begin with LS. [15]
The L series started with the production of the six-cylinder L20 in 1966. This engine was rushed into production by Datsun and was designed prior to the Prince merger using the Mercedes overhead cam engine as a model. and was discontinued two years later. [1] Learning lessons from the first L20, the four-cylinder L16 was developed in 1967.

A camshaft operating two valves. A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion.Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), [1] [2] mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers.
The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.
