Saturns 91-02 are distributorless engines and therefore have no ignition timing adjustments.
valve timing diagram of two stroke engine
Yes.
variable valve timing is where the engine changes valve timing based on the driving situation much like ignition timing is changed to meet the needs of the engine in specific situations. in most cars valve timing is static and determined by the timing gear on the camshaft
what is the torque specs and valve lash on a 24 hp Briggs
Valve timing is not adjustable on a stock engine. The timing chain is either installer correctly or not.
Variable timing valve train
The Mitsubishi Canter 4M51 engine does not have a timing belt or chain.
I found what I was looking for. This site has; general engine specs, recommended fuel, maximum EGT & Boost, part numbers.
The valve lash is not adjustable on that engine. The rocker arms are bolted down and torqued to specs. If you have valve clatter you have worn valve train parts.
Technically no, but I have seen valve hit valve when the timing belt breaks.
It is a over head valve engine with a timing chain.
"Zero clearance engine" and "interference engine" are terms used to describe engines in which open valves occupy space that the piston will be occupying once it gets to the top of it's stroke. Valve timing is critical, and valves must be closed by the time the piston reaches the top of it's cycle; that's where the camshaft timing is critical.Most engines use timing gears or timing chains, but many of the newer, dual camshaft engines use timing belts. Timing belts wear out, typically before 100,000 miles. Depending on the manufacturer, it may be much before 100,000 miles.The Saturn L series V6 uses a timing belt. Most other Saturn's used a timing chain.The Saturn L series operators manual suggests that the timing belt be replaced at 100,000 miles. Follow your operators manual recommendations to prevent timing belt failure.NOTE!If the timing belt fails on a typical overhead cam engine, the piston will come in contact with an open valve and the engine will be completely destroyed.
