It's springtime! Time to start working on your project car, learn a new wrenching skill, discover what everything is under the hood (and how it works), or just spruce up your daily driver. All month, ...
When it comes to the many variables of combustion inside an engine, engineers measure the timing of key events in degrees of crankshaft rotation, a relative frame of reference that remains constant ...
Manufacturers like to use a lot of acronyms on their cars. Variable valve lift (VVL) and variable valve timing (VVT) are two of the most popular ones. These systems sound pretty similar, but what do ...
Cam lift and timing can put the valves dangerously close to the piston. We show you how to check the clearance In all but most the mild engine builds, taking extra time to check piston to valve ...
If you're a car enthusiast, you've probably heard the term "VTEC" before, but you might not know what it means. If you don't, here's an explainer. But the way VTEC goes about switching cam profiles is ...
In this column, we take a closer look as to how timing and delays affect our logic circuits. As part of this, we start to consider the timing diagrams presented in data sheets. As I was writing my ...

What Was The First Engine To Feature Variable Valve Timing & Why Was It Such A Game Changer?
The first production car engine with variable valve timing (VVT) came from Alfa Romeo in 1980. It was installed in the fuel-injected Alfa Romeo Spider. Before this, a few experimental systems existed, ...
There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...
