  2. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

    VCT on the intake camshaft is used primarily for increasing engine power and torque as the PCM is able to optimize the opening of the intake valves to match the engine conditions. [ 2 ] VCT is used in Ford's Triton 5.4L 3-valve V8 engine, the Australian Barra 182 and 240 Inline-6s , and Ford's 4.6L 3-valve V8 engine used in the 2006-2010 Ford ...

  3. N-VCT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-VCT

    N-VTC varies valve timing by rotating the affected camshaft relative to the sprocket; valve lift and duration are not altered. This rotation is achieved when an electric solenoid, controlled by the car's ECU, allows pressurized engine oil to flow into and through the cam and into a slave mechanism, axially advancing camshaft timing relative to ...

  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. VANOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VANOS

    The first-generation single VANOS system adjusts the timing of the intake camshaft to one of two positions — e.g. the camshaft is advanced at certain engine speeds. [2] [3] VANOS was first introduced in 1992 on the BMW M50 engine used in 3 and 5 Series. In 1998 single infinitely variable VANOS was introduced on the BMW M62 V8 engine. [2]

  7. Mercedes-Benz M111 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_M111_engine

    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. Other than that, only some year models, had bad insulation on the engine wiring, that needed all the wiring to be replaced.

  8. Hyundai Beta engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Beta_engine

    The 1.6-liter Beta (Engine code: G4GR) is an in-line, spark-ignition 4-stroke, dual overhead camshaft 16 valve engine and had two (2) variants depending on the vehicle's sub-model. Advertised power was 66 kW/ 89 hp/ 90 PS (ECE) and 126 Nm/ 93 lb-ft of torque or 84 kW/113 hp/114 PS (ECE) with 143 Nm / 105 lb-ft of torque depending on market and ...

  9. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    The sensor output may also be related to other sensor data including the cam position to derive the current combustion cycle, this is very important for the starting of a four-stroke engine. Sometimes, the sensor may become burnt or worn out - or just die of old age at high mileage. One likely cause of crankshaft position sensor failure is ...
