Variable valve timing (VVT) and variable valve lift (VVL) have very similar names, both referring to variable valve performance. Does that mean that they are basically the same thing? The are most ...

Variable Valve Timing isn’t a new concept in motorcycle engines. The likes of BMW and Yamaha have been using this setup in their motorcycles for a while now. Even Suzuki itself implemented it on the ...

Getting air in and exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber under all speeds and driving conditions is essential for a car’s fuel efficiency and low emissions. That’s why virtually all Chevrolet ...

When it comes to eight-cylinder gas engines, GM has some twisted engineers who are hard at work in its labs. No, they're not crazy, unless you consider the almost fanatical obsession they have with ...

Your engine’s timing system keeps pistons and valves moving in perfect harmony, but when it’s off, performance drops and damage looms. From rattles to check engine lights, early warning signs can save ...

What P0022 means: Indicates Bank 2 intake camshaft is lagging behind commanded timing, typically in engines with VVT systems. Likely culprits: Low or degraded oil, clogged or faulty VVT solenoids, ...

In order to set a stage for what follows, let's first revisit some of the fundamentals involved in how valve timing relates to power output. And to further clarify how "power" is defined in the ...

GM Powertrain announced today it will deliver a 3.6-liter V-6 gasoline engine with direct injection and variable valve timing (VVT) technologies in the 2008 model year. A vehicle application will be ...

But because today's near-ubiquitous OHCs, driving valves from above, enjoy inherent efficiency advantages over one in the block operating them from below through pushrods while enabling higher rpm for ...

Honda did not invent variable valve timing or variable valve lift. In fact, Cadillac had a driver-operated variable valve timing system in production in 1903, three years before Soichiro Honda was ...
