  2. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

    For twin-cam or DOHC engines, VCT was used on either the intake or exhaust camshaft. (Engines that have VCT on both camshafts are now designated as Ti-VCT.↓) The use of variable camshaft timing on the exhaust camshaft is for improved emissions, and vehicles with VCT on the exhaust camshaft do not require exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) as retarding the exhaust cam timing achieves the same ...

  3. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

    Timing belt (camshaft) In a piston engine, either a timing belt (also called a cambelt) or timing chain or set of timing gears is a perishable component used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. This synchronisation ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times in relation to the position of the ...

  4. Camshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camshaft

    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. Camshafts in piston engines are usually made from ...

  5. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. There are many ways in which this can be achieved, ranging from mechanical ...

  6. Overhead camshaft engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_camshaft_engine

    OHC cylinder head (for a 1987 Honda D15A3 engine) An overhead camshaft (OHC) engine is a piston engine in which the camshaft is located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. [1][2] This contrasts with earlier overhead valve engines (OHV), where the camshaft is located below the combustion chamber in the engine block. [3] Single ...

  7. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Ignition timing. Timing of the release of a spark in a combustion engine. Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the ...
