I just got my 2.0 heads back from Len (Hoffmann automotive) and they are beautiful. It'll be weeks before I am ready for them but photos will be forthcoming.
In the meantime, I muse about valves...since fuel injectors can be precisely controlled in timing and range of movement, with stronger electronics of course, could not intake and exhaust valves be moved electrically thereby allowing variable timing and maybe even reach. Yes modern cars have variable cams but wouldn't electrical valves be infinitely varible? Surely engineers have considered this. Enlighten me if any of you know. Thanks. |

can't do it with 12 volts. There was a movement worldwise to move to a 36 volt prootcol to allow for an acceptical solanoid , but I haven't heard of it latley.
