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 |

..........most all TWO cycle engines....(as we call them)....have no valves...as we Normally think of valves....and no camshaft....In past years their have been very few engine designers who have attempted to utilize this simple method applied to cars....In the diesel truck engine world their are "two" cycle engines....Their must be some reason this simple system has not been refined /developed for cars, but I certanily miss the point....Diesels turning 1200 rpm, or motorcycle engines turning 12000 rpm, surely their is some one smart enough to design a variable RPM /torque/HP , two cycle engine.
