Because brianpetersen if i build it like that and its deemed to be in violation of the rules then all that work will be for nothing, so i need to be sure its within the rules. I agree Desertfox, but it still seems like a bit on a grey area, thanks for your input.

JackAction good point made on the transmission, that really makes it clear to me

Diagram 7http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2f3d0c02-6857-4357-8142-de35a6e47cc8&file=Screen_Shot_2015-03-31_at_12.09.28_pm.png

So the design has to comply with some rules 1. Valve timing system drive must be by one chain. An intermediate drive gear which rotates on only one axle or rotation centre is allowed in the system (refer to Diagram 7 in the Appendix for some examples of permitted systems). I thought the...

i know the large gear meshing with the crankshaft is an intermediate gear but not sure if the first cam is an intermediate for the second cam or if it is looked at differently ? i think not but it seems a bit grey to me

I'am a little unsure on how many intermediate driving gears (idlers) there are in this valve train system and would like to know others thoughts? the main driving is through a chain and then one cam drives the other with gears on the cams...

tbuelna can you direct me to some literature on this ?

Hi everyone, Wondering if i can get some help on cam design. Im wondering, how do you know what diameter a roller follower should be for cam/roller mechanism like that used in v8 push rod engine. Any help would be great

Hey does anyone know how these carbon fibre parts may be bonded to the aluminium lugs, i want to use a similar method on a project.

i assume rocker pad design of the involute curve is the same as it is for gears but just want to be sure

hey i need to calculate an involute curve for a rocker acting on a valve stem, does anyone know how or know of any literature ? cheers

Yes indent might work well , i just thought there might be some fancy surfacing that might make it easy to do

Sorry herehttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a17c5c51-1aad-40d5-a899-983c775bc569&file=ports.jpeg

Hi everyone , hoping someone can help. iam trying to design a 4 valve cylinder head and i am having trouble getting the two inlet ports to converge into one bigger diameter like the pictures below. Does anyone know how i can do this in solidworks????

Hey does anyone have any ideas on modelling something like this expansion chamber in solidworks? , im not sure how to do the curve part. i want to model the chamber so that i can use sheet metal features to get the cone templates.
