Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Cam Talk' - A quick overview of the engine's mechanical brain In an effort to simplify what actually happens inside a 4-stroke internal combustion engine, let's take a walk inside a typical engine. We'll discuss valve events, piston position, overlap and centrelines. Although we don't have enough room to explain cam design in great detail, we will clear up several of the most often misunderstood terms. We hope to give you a more clear understanding of what actually occurs in the operation of a four-stroke engine. We'll graphically illustrate the relationship between all parts of the engine and to try to help you understand how the camshaft affects the power of the engine.
