It's springtime! Time to start working on your project car, learn a new wrenching skill, discover what everything is under the hood (and how it works), or just spruce up your daily driver. All month, ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

Somewhere there's a perfect balance between peak horsepower, low-speed response, reduced emissions, and something you can afford. Variable valve timing and lift have done their part in getting us all ...

Engineers at Waterloo University are improving on the traditional engine by introducing variable hydraulic valves in place of cam-based and camless systems. While the engineering community continues ...

The jargon goes well beyond just names. Car specs are full of abbreviations that may or may not have any meaning at first glance. And sometimes we get so used to seeing those abbreviations that we may ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 107, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1998), pp. 1032-1038 (7 pages) VAST is a variable timing system developed for spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines. It makes ...

Continuing just-auto’s series of interviews with global tier one suppliers, Matthew Beecham talked with Anna Strehlau, Engineering Manager, New Business Development, BorgWarner Morse TEC about how the ...

Trademark erosion may not impact the environment, but marketers have noted the lexicographical slide of some brand names into generic labels. Kleenex, Band-Aid, Xerox, and Zamboni (yes, other ...

Automatic variation of internal combustion engine valve timing in response to load and speed is an effective technique for reducing emission of oxides of nitrogen and unburned hydrocarbons. The ...

One of the interesting things about critical needs is that we tend to take them for granted once achieved. Food, clothing, and shelter have been joined by power and connectivity as survival demands in ...
