Obama arrived in Israel a few hours ago. Apparently the presidential limo parked at the airport wouldn't start because someone put diesel in it.

Was it ever revealed what kind of fuel it used? Or did the Israelis just inadvertently leak that out? I would have thought it would be a diesel, since it's based on a medium duty truck.

There was an 8.1 gas option for the TopKick but I don't see why they'd use it for something that heavy. Hilarious:

Ferremit posted:isnt there essentially the equivalent of a second set of cams in there for the VTEC gubbins? I can see that adding some height No vtec just has an extra, more aggressive, cam lobe and an extra rocker for each set of valves (three lobes and three rockers per two valves). The aggressive lobe hits the third rocker which normally isn't connected to anything, but when vtec engages it locks all three rockers together so they all follow the aggressive lobe instead of the regular lobe. Like this picture shamelessly stolen from GIS:  It's still just two cams and it doesn't look much different from a normal setup. EDIT: I should also clarify that there are actually two different vtec systems with different goals. The one described above is the performance vtec. Their mainstream cars also claim to have "vtec" but it's an emissions-oriented vtec that only has two lobes, not three. One valve is a normal lobe and one lobe is super mild that barely opens the valve at all, which helps swirl at low rpm. Then at higher rpm both rockers lock together and both valves follow the normal lobe. lazer_chicken fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Mar 21, 2013 |

I know at least Ford and Peugeot call it VCT and BMW obviously has VANOS, which all work by advancing and retarding intake and/or exhaust cam timing for a more even torque spread.

Yes, for the intake cam, but only on the newer system (called i-vtec) used on the K-series and newer engines. The old B and C engines with vtec don't do this.

Like this picture shamelessly stolen from GIS: How do the secondary and primary rocker arms deal with the stress from being lifted off the cam like that? In my machine design classes, cam-follower separation was taught as a very bad thing. E: Probably by having it ease back during the dwell. Google hasn't shown any cases of cracked lobes or anything like that so I guess the impact isn't as bad as what normally happens during separation; the follower accelerating off during lift and crashing back down.

In my machine design classes, cam-follower separation was taught as a very bad thing. There's never any mechanical separation; out of vtec each rocker follows its cam independently, and when you hit vtac yo, the two outer rockers are mechanically bound to the middle rocker which is still following its cam. The outer rockers are always mechanically in contact with something, either the middle rocker, or their low profile cams. The only way you could have separation is if the pin binding the middle rocker with the outer two is removed while all three were following the high profile lobe.

When VTEC is disengaged though, do the outer followers snap back down to their cam lobes? I think that is what he was asking. I would imagine there is a mechanism by which they are not allowed to have the pin retract unless they are at the bottom of ther lobe so there isn't any snapback. Either by special oil control or friction with the pin during a lifted state.

Alphius posted:When VTEC is disengaged though, do the outer followers snap back down to their cam lobes? I think that is what he was asking. Well they are pushed back down by the valve spring tension, so I'm assuming they just return to position on the lower lobes like nothing happened.
