Abstract:
A valve system of a V-type engine in which a camshaft provided in each bank is formed with valve cams that open and close engine valves and a pump cam for driving a fuel pump, the phase of the pump cam relative to the valve cams is set such that the crank angle at which driving torque of the pump cam is maximized does not coincide with the crank angle at which driving torque of each of the valve cams is maximized.
Abstract:
An iron-based sintered powder metal article for cam lobe and other high temperature, high wear applications requiring excellent net-shape stability during sintering comprises a powder metal mixture consisting essentially of, by weight, 0.5–3.0% Mo, 1–6.5% Cr, 1–5% V, and the balance Fe and impurities. These articles also have a carburized case having 0.7–1.2% C by weight. Following carburization of the case, the articles are quenched to form a martensitic matrix having a network of disbursed carbides of Cr and V. The resulting sintered articles have good mechanical strength and wear resistance and possess excellent machineability and dimensional stability.

Abstract:
A variable valve apparatus is employed a configuration in which, at a high valve lift and high speed operation of an internal combustion engine, an oscillating fulcrum of a transmission arm and a rotation center of a control shaft are arranged between a direction of a component rotating a control shaft of a maximum load which occurs in the oscillating fulcrum of the transmission arm when an oscillating cam oscillates in a valve opening direction and a direction of a component rotating a control shaft of a maximum load opposite thereto which occurs when the oscillating cam oscillates in a valve closing direction.

Abstract:
A valve system lifter for combustion engines includes a hard metal face pad connected to a lower-grade metal lifter body. The connecting material is one or more materials that are different from both the lifter body and the face pad. Preferably, the connecting material is a silver- and copper-containing material, that may take the form of a wafer with silver or silver alloy layered over a copper alloy core. The preferred body includes one or more ferrous compounds, and the preferred face includes tungsten carbide. The resulting lifter is resistant to the cracking, breakage, and wear that plague conventional lifters, due to the harsh temperature and impact environment of the lifter. The resulting lifter may be used to reduce the need for change-out and down-time in many engines.
