2. OPERATION OF VALVES*

 

Mechanical ( valve operating gear ) Hydraulic . There are neither pushrods nor rocker arms but a piston pump . The oil pressure is led by means of a high pressure pipe to a working cylinder & hydraulic piston placed on top of the exhaust valve cage.

3. CAMSHAFT

3.1 CONSTRUCTION* Integral camshaft is made in a single piece of forged steel; Separate cams of forged steel or cast iron are:

keyed on the shaft;

hyraulicaly shrunk on or press fitted ;

fitted to the shaft by SKF oil injection pressure method .

3.2 CAM DESIGN

3.2 CAM DESIGN 3.3 CAMSHAFT ROTATION 4-stroke = ½ speed of the crankshaft 2-stroke = same speed as the crankshaft 3.4 CAMSHAFT DRIVE

Train of gears

Chain drive

Train of gears

Chain drive 3.5 REVERSING The camshaft slides axially ( in 4-stroke engines ) thus bringing a different set of cams for reverse direction .
