[SEL] Atkinson Engine / camless technology

[Steve Gray]

Yep. Ford (International) has been looking into a camless version of 
their Power Stroke diesels for the last few years. With the miseries 
that I experienced (overall 'puter problems) with the SAAB (GMC) a 
couple of years ago, I hate to think of the possibilities of serious 
down time!

One of the new design ideas that I think has possibilities is the 
camless engine where the valves are worked by solenoids and the timing 
is computer controlled. Instant change with working conditions.
