Anyone know about any interesting articles to share about camless engines?
Here is one link. http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Camless-Eng...10/article.html Having infinitely variable cam timing would open so much performance and economy it just boggles my little mind! And not having cam chains to worry about would be something positive also. Just imagine a 2 liter type 4 with heads that would essentially have dual overhead camshafts with infinitely variable valve timing. WOW!! Tom |

begs to question.
Do valves need to be round? A square port slide mechanism may be more durable and easier to build... How about a triangle? Rich |

Rich For that matter, do they need to be shaped like valves at all? If electromechanically operated, couldn't it be something akin to a hinged "trap door" design? |
