There are many systems for VVT, which involve changing either the relative timing, duration or opening of the engine's inlet and exhaust valves. One of the first practical VVT systems used a variator to change the phase [note 1] of the camshaft and valves. This simple system cannot change the duration of the valve opening, or their lift.
