  • Poppet Valve
    POPPET VALVE A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most applications a pressure differential helps to seal the valve and in some applications also open it. Other types Presta and Schrader valves used on tires are examples of poppet valves. The Presta valve has no spring and relies on a pressure differential for opening and closing while being inflated. Uses Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the intake and exhaust ports. Poppet valves are also used in many industrial process from controlling the flow of rocket fuel to controlling the flow of milk[[1]]. The poppet valve was also used in a limited fashion in steam engines, particularly steam locomotives. Most steam locomotives used slide valves or piston valves, but these designs, although mechanically simpler and very rugged, were significantly less efficient than the poppet valve. A number of designs of locomotive poppet valve system were tried, the most popular being the Italian Caprotti valve gear[[2]], the British Caprotti valve gear[[3]] (an improvement of the Italian one), the German Lentz rotary-cam valve gear, and two American versions by Franklin, their oscillating-cam valve gear and rotary-cam valve gear. They were used with some success, but they were less ruggedly reliable than traditional valve gear and did not see widespread adoption. In internal combustion engine poppet valve The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the valve stem out one end.

While these breakthroughs also features size and weight advantages. Despite these will initially benefit the commercial and passenger vehicle advantages, however, historical OP engines have struggled markets—the focus of the company’s current development with emissions and oil consumption. Using modern efforts—the Achates Power OP engine is also a good fit for technology, science and engineering, Achates Power has other applications due to its high thermal efficiency, high overcome these challenges.

  • Installation Instructions Cloyes® 3-Keyway Crank Sprockets
    February 2, 2009 Installation Instructions Cloyes ® 3-Keyway Crank Sprockets The Cloyes® Patented 3-Keyway crank sprocket allows adjustment of the crankshaft timing by ± 4°. Remember: The camshaft angle is half of the crankshaft angle, therefore the camshaft will correspondingly advance or retard by ± 2°. By changing the cam timing, enhancements to the camshaft characteristics can be achieved. For example, retarding the cam timing will increase high RPM horsepower, and advancing the cam timing will increase low-end torque. The following examples illustrate which timing mark is used with its corresponding keyway: GM and Chrysler Ford Retard keyway To retard the camshaft timing, use the timing mark on the crank sprocket and the retard keyway shown above. GM and Chrysler Ford Factory keyway For factory specified timing, use the Ο timing mark on the crank sprocket and the factory keyway shown above. GM and Chrysler Ford Advance keyway To advance the camshaft timing, use the ∆ timing mark on the crank sprocket and the advance keyway shown above. Notes: After determining which setting to use, we advise marking (with white marker or similar) the corresponding timing mark and keyway. This will make them easier to identify during installation. Some high performance camshafts are ground with advance or retard built in. In this case the cam manufacturer intends the cam to be set at the factory specified timing. Also, during and after installation, observe for any interference between the timing set and engine block. If interference is found, remove or grind that area of the block so adequate clearance is obtained. When removing a press fit crank sprocket, a proper pulling tool should be used.

  • Basic Camshaft Adjustment Instructions in Order To
    Basic Camshaft adjustment instructions In order to accommodate the INEX rule regarding cranking compression a camshaft timing adjustment may be necessary. By retarding the intake opening timing the static compression will stay the same while lowering the cranking compression. The first step is to check your existing compression. Warm your engine up. Pull all spark plugs, using some good anti seize screw in your compression tester. INEX uses the MAC tools CT-25 compression tester with the 12mm adaptor. Readings can vary considerably so make sure you have a quality gauge that has been well taken care of. With carbs at full throttle crank your engine 10 to 12 revolutions and read the gauge. Once you have determined your starting point remove your valve cover. The first thing you will see will be your intake and exhaust camshafts. The Intake will be the one closest to your carburetors. Slowly rotate your engine over using a 7/8” or 22 millimeter wrench until you can see a dot in the camshaft while looking down thru the hole in the number 3 cam cap. ADJ BOLT CAM HOLE INTAKE CAM Each gear will have 2 opposing slots that allow you to turn the gear on the camshaft. Loosen up the two INTAKE cam bolts using a 10MM wrench. DO NOT REMOVE, just loosen. While loose, rotate the cam towards the carburetors just a small amount (1/16”) this can usually be done by using a 7/8” or 22 MM wrench on the hex part of the cam, right next to the gear.
