ABSTRACT:
A modified camshaft and a modified cam follower control valve overlap and vary intake and exhaust valve opening and closing in a reciprocating piston engine. The camshaft and cam follower are modified to cause the intake valve of a piston cylinder to open at top dead center and close at bottom dead center of the intake stroke of a piston. The exhaust valve is caused to open at bottom dead center and close at top dead center to the exhaust stroke of the piston. The modification of a camshaft includes the shaping and spacing of the cam lobes to achieve, in conjunction with a modified cam follower, a desired duration and initiation of valve opening. The modification of the cam follower includes a novel shaping of the lower portion of a cam follower.
