Other engine highlights include a direct drive valvetrain that eliminates
valve tappet clearance adjustment, and a direct - ignition system that places the ignition coils over the spark plugs, eliminating the need for a distributor and high - tension ignition wires.
Credit for this longevity goes to long - wearing iridium spark plugs, a long - life timing chain, and careful engineering of the precisely manufactured SOHC valvetrain - which reliably maintains proper
valve tappet clearances until the first tune - up.
Credit for this longevity goes to long - wearing platinum - tipped spark plugs, a long - life timing chain, and careful engineering of the precisely manufactured DOHC valvetrain - which reliably maintains proper
valve tappet clearances until the first tune - up.
In the valvetrain, roller swing arms and hydraulic lash adjusters reduce valve - driven friction to improve fuel economy one percent compared with direct
valve tappets.
The naturally aspirated 6.2 - liter V8 gasoline unit adopts a series of detailed modifications already featured on the SLS AMG GT3 race car, including a larger inlet manifold, high - lift camshaft, revised
valve tappets and oil system, lighter bearings and stiffer connecting rods.
Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) combined with a piston - cooling oil jet improves engine efficiency, while engine components, including piston rings, piston skirts,
valve tappets, timing chain guide and valve springs are all of a low - friction design.
In the valvetrain, roller swing arms and hydraulic lash adjusters reduce valve - driven friction to help improve fuel economy one percent compared with direct
valve tappets.
Not exact matches
There are no intake or exhaust
valves in a Wankel and hence no need for a camshaft or
tappets to actuate them.
It usually acts upon the
valves via cam buckets, also known as
tappets).
OR on other words this is the sound of the piston hitting the
tappet or the
valves..
This engine does not use hydraulic
tappets, so every 60,000 miles of mileage (90,000 km) you should regulate the
valves to avoid appearing of irritable ticking noise.
In the SOHC design, the camshaft operates the
valves directly, traditionally via a bucket
tappet; or via an intermediary rocker arm.

The inlet and exhaust
valves are actuated by especially lightweight
tappets and hydraulic
valve clearance adjustment.
This engine does not use hydraulic
tappets, you just have to adjust the
valves after every 24,000 miles of mileage, if they are noisy.
Other high - tech features include variable camshaft adjustment, four -
valve technology with bucket - type
tappets, a particularly rigid aluminum crankcase of closed - deck design and the low - friction TWAS coating on the cylinder contact surfaces.
Unlike the other similar variable
valve timing systems such as the Honda VTEC, the Toyota VVT - i and the Mitsubishi MIVEC which use rocker arm locking pins to change the
valve timing, the CPS system uses direct - acting
tappets with locking pins to change the
valve timing and lift profile.
The engine features dual overhead camshafts with variable
valve timing, low - friction cylinder walls, bucket
tappets (as opposed to rocker arms) and an impressive 11:1 compression ratio.

5.0 R - Spec Direct Injection Tau V8 engine Even more, this new V8 still offers all of the premium engine technology from the 4.6 - liter V8, including Dual Continuously Variable
Valve Timing (D - CVVT), a tuned variable induction system, and low - friction diamond - like coatings (DLC) on piston skirts, rings and
tappets.
The valvetrain consists of chain - driven hollowcast dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) that actuate 4 -
valves per cylinder via roller finger followers with hydraulic
tappets.
The SL63 AMG is powered by an AMG 6.3 - liter V8 engine that features four
valves per cylinder, variable
valve timing, bucket
tappets (rather than rocker arms) and a variable intake manifold.
