i want 3 cams

Vtech? Or is that duel but only one at a time?


VTEC has two cams...but 3 lobes for each pair of inlet/exhaust valves!
Individual lobes for off-VTEC and a common lobe and rocker assembly, actuated by oil pressure via a solenoid for on-VTEC.
Still two cams though...

At least that's how the B16/B18s did it.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

And the 3rd lope has a taller profile. So the valve stays open longer. The solenoid locks the rocker arms together and then uses the 3rd lope. That is at about 4500 rpm
