What does everyone think of this? It has to allow less obstruction than a conventional valve, you would need some sort of strange seal for the valve stem as it would move sideways as well as up and down but I'm sure there is a solution for it.

What do people think, any good reason why this wouldn't work?

A more direct path for air/fuel to travel would fill the cylinder quicker but it would lack the turbulence required to evenly spread the mixture around the cylinder. This would cool down the side of the cylinder which is in the path of the intake flow causing one side to cool down more than the other which is no good for piston/bore clearances.

lots more negatives than positives. as said above wear, clearance and distribution would all be much worse off than a conventional setup. not to mention the impossible task of coming up with a method that doesnt put excessive sideways pressure on the valve and therefore seals.

Once visteon finish their direct acting solenoid valves the world will be a better place - ie just punch in the valve opening and closing time and how much you want it to open. Then the petrol engines may catch up to the diesel in terms of torque and fuel economy with the help of HCCI and direct injection.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
