Description

This book, Automotive Variable Valve Timing & Lift Explained of which there's also a companion DVD by the same title, is a one and only up to date work that covers automotive electronic variable valve timing and lift. The way things are shaping up, car makers are doing away with the throttle butterfly valve and relying on valve lift to accelerate the engine. Yes, no more throttle in the near future. This technology has matured and is here. Almost all car manufacturers are using some form of variable valve lift. Variable valve timing on the other hand is an even older technology and present on almost all cars today. This book and companion DVD-Video goes deep into the operation of both, variable valve lift and timing. It explains the principles according to each manufacturer. This is one area of technology where it really pays to know the system and the system changes drastically depending on the vehicle’s brand name. Various systems such as Mercedes-Benz Camtronic, BMW Valvetronic, Variocam, Ford CTA, Toyota Neo VVL, Honda V-Tec and many others are covered. This is by far, the most complete book of its kind for this particular technology. It’ll give you the knowledge needed to understand these systems.

  • A unique book on this topic that merits expansion and improvement.
A quite elementary, not very well illustrated, and not fully up to date explanation of some of today's variable valve timing and lift technologies being used in automotive engines. The book needs many more illustrations, better photographed and drawn, and merits fuller engineering analyses of the various systems and how they affect power and torque. I recommend the various Society of Automotive Engineering series of technical papers, the work of the FASITA organization in Europe, the two German technical publications ATZ and MTZ, and written studies published by JSAE (Japanese Society of Automotive Engineers," plus manufacturers' technical publications as partial sources from which a more complete book can be derived. I praise this book for being the only such book I know of, and for that reason it is a leading publication on this form of engine intake and exhaust valve control. The author deserves credit for having written the book, and encouragement to follow up with an expanded version. ... show more

  • Good summery of mechanisms used to adjust camshaft.
Explains the many ways that different car makers adjust cam timing. The book uses a lot of good graphics to show in non technical terms how the mechanisms work.
