  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. VANOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VANOS

    VANOS units on the intake and exhaust camshafts of a BMW N52 engine. VANOS is a variable valve timing system used by BMW on various automotive petrol engines since 1992. The name is an abbreviation of the German words for variable camshaft timing (German: variable Nockenwellensteuerung).

  4. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

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

    Manufacturer-specification timing belts may stretch at high rpm, [citation needed] retarding the cam and therefore the ignition. [12] Stronger aftermarket belts will not stretch and the timing is preserved. [13] When designing the timing belt, a wider belt increases its strength however a narrower belt reduces weight and friction. [14]

  5. Active valve control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_valve_control_system

    The active valve control system (AVCS) is an automobile variable valve timing technology used by Subaru. It varies the timing of the valves by using hydraulic oil pressure to rotate the camshaft, known as "phasing", [1] in order to provide optimal valve timing for engine load conditions. The system is closed loop using the camshaft sensors ...

  6. Hyundai Beta engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Beta_engine

    The Hyundai Beta engines are 1.6 L to 2.0 L I4 built in Ulsan, South Korea.. All Beta engines are dual overhead camshaft valvetrain design.The Beta engine uses a direct-acting overhead cam valvetrain arrangement which places the camshaft in the cylinder head above the pistons and combustion chamber and operates the valve tappets/lifters directly.

  7. Toyota NR engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_NR_engine

    The application of intake valve type roller rocker arm, which reduces the friction produced when the camshaft is running. The application of Dual VVT-i system, which adjusts timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts. Improved cylinder head design. Longer intake valve, which improves lower-end torque. [12] Compatible with E20 fuel (Dual VVT-iE ...

  8. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    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.

  9. Mercedes-Benz M111 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_M111_engine

    The early motor didn't have any camshaft position sensor, so wiring was much different. The only problem experienced with this M111 excellent reliability motor is the originally installed Victor Reinz headgasket, which eventually tore apart by age, and made the top lose coolant on the side.
