  • In this video I will explain to you why you have a variable valve timing system on your car. But not just that I will also show you how it exactly works and operates. Some of the more common known variable valve timing systems are Vtec, VVT, VTVT and VVTi. All these systems work very similar to one another and I am going to explain it in this video.

    Very good explanation of variable valve timing and how it works. I'm old school, worked on engine rebuild in the days of 4-bbl carbs and no pollution control baggage. Trying to learn and understand the newer technology and how it works. We've definitely come a long way in engine design. Thank so much for this video. A combination of theory, drawings, real engine parts, and explanation is an invaluable tool for teaching which helps everything you discussed make sense. Kind of remind me of my instructors I had when I took auto mechanics trade school in the early '70s. They used the same instruction methods which works well. Bravo.

    I really like the way you break it down, simple and uncomplicated. The average person can get clear information without a degree in engineering. Thank you very much!

    Your explanation of how VVT works , and how it is employed in effecting Exhaust Gas Retention internally ( as opposed to Exhaust Gas Recirculation which requires separate externally installed valve in older engines ) , to me is the highlight of this video .
    Keep up with the good work!

    Woah, now I understand! I replaced my intake & exhaust VVT solenoids on 2017 GMC Terrain at only 43k miles. Intake side was filthy!! My oil has been changed by the dealership regularly so I’m kinda upset at what I seen on the solenoid. Now it runs great again and no longer stalling. Thank God for RUclips because it has helped so much!

    Old timer here and now I understand about this variable valve timing. Excellent job explaining! Congrats. on the new move and hope it's saving you some money. You have some of the best videos out there on fixing cars. My first car was a 1960 180b Mercedes and those weren't the fastest cars but what a dream to work on. None of this computerized stuff. So that was back in 69 and have been working on my own cars ever since. Unfortunately all of the injuries have caught up on me and it's getting to painful to do the work although it's been so rewarding being able to be self sufficient! So lately I've been looking at Lexus' and from what I can tell they seem to be the best built cars out there. Would love to here your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    New viewer and sub here! So living on my own and now having to do work on my own for vehicles, I had my first engine indicator come on. Wanting to learn to do things on my own, got myself a bluetooth obd2 reader and app. Now I am learning about what the part I will be fixing has to do with how my car works. This is leading me into a rabbit hole of education on, well put honestly, how vehicles work :) And this so far is what led me to your content and I love how you present things :D

    @spelunkerd 7 лет назад +35

    This VVT system always seemed more complicated than it needed to be, and the dependence on extra solenoids and motor oil moving down narrow channels made me wonder how long they would last. However it seems like these systems are holding up fine, so far. Even better reason to change motor oil frequently, ha ha. Good video, welcome to the new shop!

    • @klopossa2
      @klopossa2 7 лет назад +2

      I was wondering about a fail safe if the solenoids stopped working all together as solenoids have been known to do.

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  7 лет назад +4

      Yes, they are pretty reliable now. But yes frequent oil changes with these setups is crucial. cheers

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  7 лет назад +5

      The solenoid is usually spring loaded inside where if it were to fail t will go to a position where there wont be any damage, either valve to valve or valve to piston. cheers

    • @stix562
      @stix562 6 лет назад +1

      Like to know where the VVT Filter Screen is on a 3.3L 2006 Sienna - better to clean that first than go replacing things that might not need replacing.. although I am sure after 200K or more they might be a bit more gummy than a bear.
