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 ...

This collection of cam-related phenomena is intended to take you beyond the degree-it-in and set-the-valve-lash plateau. In concert with what you may already know about camshaft types, selection, and ...

A car engine is a piece of heavy machinery, and it isn’t surprising for it to make all kinds of sounds. The rotating shafts, the moving pistons and valves, the combustion process, and other engine ...

The inlet and exhaust valve timing of a piston engine plays a large role in engine performance. Many modern automotive engines have some sort of variable valve timing, but the valves are still ...

Forged internals do not make an engine invincible, particularly when variables like boost and nitrous are involved. For instance, take the tale of Jeff from Reddit. “Jeff likes to bounce on the rev ...
