New L88?

[Marteney, Steven J.]

I've heard that too.  The key word there is diesel.  Low rpms.  Regular gas
combustion engines, ESPECIALLY things like Honda 4-bangers rev too high for
the current valve actuator technology.  I'm sure there's something in
somebody's lab somewhere but not ready for mass production.  It's coming,
but slowly.

      Software Controlled Valve Train; It's a done deal. Navistar
International
      is set to release the new Diesel Engine in 2003 MY . A Colorado Aero
      Space Company is supplying the Valve Actuators , according to info
      I've received. Exciting material folks !
