COMP Cams® Technology Explained: Common Valve Train Terminology

[@Compcams1976]

Thanks so much, we really appreciate your nice words!! That's exactly what we strive to do. And we're glad you liked the video!

Great video guys thats why i only use comp cams i have a 2200hp 500ci lsx twin turbo motor in my 67 chevy II and with the help of your tech team and my builder you guys ground the right cam the first time no second guessing what we got or what brand we got no wishing we had got a different cam at the dyno everything was spot on i have ran 3 seasons on this cam with no problems at freshning up time so great job guys i really like your stuff

Excellent 👍 Thanks

Afternoon - please could I use a clip from this video, properly credited to you, in my Harley video? Many thanks.

Lobe separation angle can be changed, just not with a single cam engine. DOHC engines can change their intake and exhaust centerlines and thus their LSA. That's, basically, what's happening with modern variable valve timing - the computer is commanding the cams to constantly adjust their centerlines to provide the best performance for given driving condition.

Great video and helpful for the novice, well done. I 'd like to see something about cam shapes too. Some have quietening ramps, some are almost square in shape and some open the inlet quick and close slow, while exhaust lifts slow and closes fast.

camshaft lift and duration can alter the power and torque characteristics of 4 stroke engine. 2 similar engines with similar displacement capacities fitted with different camshaft lift and duration times can have a world of difference in terms of performance and consumption figures!

thanx much...u guyz r just plain awesome !!!!

[@Compcams1976]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a very well made video, but wish you would of slowed down on the talking. Still pretty good though.

Anyone else's brain hurting thinking about this

[@kelinjohnson7421]

i now have anxiety lol

[@euba0149]

Kyle Gardner the video just doesn’t give your brain any time to understand a concept before jumping to the next point lol over and over and over

[@7REDDRACO7]

now computers can control the valves even with cams also. the best engines do not even have cams anymore only computer controlled magnets and buffers. i'm making mine pneumatic actuated valves that vary in size.

Slow down talking we all

[@popitgood3456]

a chick talking about cams is such a turn on 😋
