The web page, "What is Honda VTEC and how it works," (Hevesey, 2023) introduces the concept of VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Electronic Lift Control), which is mainly used by Japanese automotive maker, Honda. VTEC makes use of rocker arms and camshaft to control the output power of the engine with a dual-profile camshaft that has two smaller outer lobes with a bigger center lobe. Principally, at low revolutions per minute (RPMs), the rocker arms are engaged with the two smaller outer camshaft lobes. Transiting to higher engine RPMs, the engine would see all three rocker arms on each cylinder fully engaged, actuating all three camshaft lobes, performing at their peak potential. VTEC was essentially made with the idea of maximizing mileage (Km/L) while still ensuring the vehicle is push out every bit of performance that is available in the engine through the action of the rocker arms and camshafts.  Honda became a leader in the industry by introducing VTEC, a ground-breakin...

VTEC makes use of rocker arms and camshaft to control the output power of the engine. Principally, at low revolutions per minute (RPMs), the rocker arms are engaged with the camshaft lobes which are of a less aggressive profile, in this case of the article, two of the three rocker arms are engaged to the camshaft. Higher engine RPMs would see all three rocker arms on each cylinder fully engaged and performing at their peak potential. VTEC was essentially made with the idea of maximizing mileage (Km/L) while still ensuring the vehicle is able to eke out every bit of performance that is available in the engine through the action of the rocker arms and camshafts.  Honda led the industry by introducing VTEC, a ground-breaking innovation that brings multiple benefits namely ...
