2. Variator (variable valve timing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variator_(variable_valve...

   Engine oil pressure, moves the internal piston which rotates slightly due to the helical splines and advances the inlet valve timing by 25 degrees. Oil flow to the variator is controlled by a solenoid valve. When engine speed reaches a certain speed, normally 1500-2000 rpm in the Twin Spark application, the solenoid energises, causing ...

3. MultiAir - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir

   The solenoid valve regulates the amount of oil pumped by the cam action to either the valve or a bypass reservoir. When pressurized, the hydraulic line behaves like a solid body and transmits the lift schedule imparted by the intake cam directly to the intake valve. When the solenoid is disengaged, a spring takes over valve actuation duties.

4. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

   Late intake valve closing (LIVC) The first variation of continuous variable valve timing involves holding the intake valve open slightly longer than a traditional engine. This results in the piston actually pushing air out of the cylinder and back into the intake manifold during the compression stroke.

5. Variable Valve Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Valve_Control

   The system has the advantage that it is continuously variable rather than switching in at a set speed. Its disadvantage is the complexity of the system and corresponding price. Other systems will achieve similar results with less cost and simpler design (electronic control). For a more detailed description, see the sandsmuseum link below.

6. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

   Right-hand side VCT oil control solenoid and harness from a Ford 4.6L SOHC 3V V8 engine. Variable camshaft timing (VCT) is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Ford. It allows for more optimum engine performance, reduced emissions, and increased fuel efficiency compared to engines with fixed camshafts.

7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually operated valves require someone in attendance to adjust them using a direct or geared mechanism attached to the valve stem. Power-operated actuators, using gas pressure ...
