  2. Overhead camshaft engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_camshaft_engine

    DOHC design (for a V12 engine) A dual overhead cam, double overhead cam, or twin-cam engine has two camshafts over each bank of the cylinder head, [1] [2] one for the intake valves and another for the exhaust valves. Therefore there are two camshafts for a straight engine and a total of four camshafts for a V engine or a flat engine.

    The Twin Cam 96B engine was released at the same time as the Twin Cam 96A model, for the 2007 model year, and was equipped on all Softail models until it was replaced by the 103 ci version. [8] It is however possible to mount a regular Twin Cam motor to a pre-2000 Softail (or any chassis that accepts an Evolution engine) through third-party ...

    The Fiat Twin Cam (also known as the Lampredi Twin Cam) is an advanced double overhead camshaft inline-four automobile engine produced from 1966 through 2000 as a Fiat/Lancia engine. Designed by ex Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi , the engine was produced in a large number of displacements, ranging from 1.3 to 2.0 L (1,297 to 1,995 cc) and ...

  5. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

    For twin-cam or DOHC engines, VCT was used on either the intake or exhaust camshaft. (Engines that have VCT on both camshafts are now designated as Ti-VCT.↓) The use of variable camshaft timing on the exhaust camshaft is for improved emissions, and vehicles with VCT on the exhaust camshaft do not require exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) as retarding the exhaust cam timing achieves the same ...

  6. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

  7. Cam engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_engine

    A cam engine is a reciprocating engine where instead of the conventional crankshaft, the pistons deliver their force to a cam that is then caused to rotate. The output work of the engine is driven by this cam. [1] A variation of the cam engine, the swashplate engine (also the closely related wobble-plate engine), was briefly popular. [2]

  8. Softail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softail

    To compensate, later Softail models used a counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine, the 88B, instead of the regular Twin Cam engine used in the Touring and Dyna models. This counterbalanced engine was enlarged to 96B and 103B before it was replaced by a variant of the Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight engine for the 2018 model year. [10]

  9. Lotus-Ford Twin Cam - Wikipedia

    The first Lotus Twin Cam engine was fired up on a test bench on October 10, 1961. [7] This engine broke a crankshaft during testing; a failure blamed on the three main-bearing block. The first test vehicle to receive a Twin Cam was a left hand drive Ford Anglia, and the engine was installed
