I've seen an engine design without cams that used slide valves opened by
eccentrics - much like a steam engine. I'm not 
sure how well the surfaces would stand up long term. This sort of technology
disappeared from steam engines because the 
large flat surfaces wore too quickly.

Some of the early Otto IC engines had slide valves, too, didn't they?

So many projects.  So little time.
