Very good explanation of variable valve timing and how it works. I'm old school, worked on engine rebuild in the days of 4-bbl carbs and no pollution control baggage. Trying to learn and understand the newer technology and how it works. We've definitely come a long way in engine design. Thank so much for this video. A combination of theory, drawings, real engine parts, and explanation is an invaluable tool for teaching which helps everything you discussed make sense. Kind of remind me of my instructors I had when I took auto mechanics trade school in the early '70s. They used the same instruction methods which works well. Bravo.

Your explanation of how VVT works , and how it is employed in effecting Exhaust Gas Retention internally ( as opposed to Exhaust Gas Recirculation which requires separate externally installed valve in older engines ) , to me is the highlight of this video . Keep up with the good work!

Totally agree with the title.."variable valve timing explained - like never before". Glad you got more space to make more videos!!

I really like the way you break it down, simple and uncomplicated. The average person can get clear information without a degree in engineering. Thank you very much!

Thank You for taking the time to explain how it works! Its so hard to find the correct information and application! I truly enjoy your videos!

respected worker n teacher, we support you👍

Love these videos. I finally understand a little about this valve timing thing. Thanks, Ratchet. You're a real pro.

From 8m 30s, the Ecotec VVT explanation was just terrific.

Beautiful explanation. Perfect balance of theory and real-world visual examples.

Thank you for explaining the vvt. I like the board holding the hood up & two less flies to breed. Keep up the good work.

Ive been trying to understand VVT and how its achieved through oil pressure. This video is perfect in explaining how and why. I particularly enjoy the humor interjected. Well done in all aspects. I subscribed.

The "5-stroke" joke you made in the first minute of the video was legendary by the way.

Woah, now I understand! I replaced my intake & exhaust VVT solenoids on 2017 GMC Terrain at only 43k miles. Intake side was filthy!! My oil has been changed by the dealership regularly so I’m kinda upset at what I seen on the solenoid. Now it runs great again and no longer stalling. Thank God for KZread because it has helped so much!

That is a very very good explanation on vvt. Wish everyone could show stuff so clear.

Lol I love the little comedic parts of your videos. Keep it up!

Very educational...now I know how the VVTS works! Good production, good enunciation! Thanks

Your content keeps getting better and better. Good stuff dude. Congrats!! - Saludos

This guy is too quiet and patient ... I like listening to him, good job, man!

Old timer here and now I understand about this variable valve timing. Excellent job explaining! Congrats. on the new move and hope it's saving you some money. You have some of the best videos out there on fixing cars. My first car was a 1960 180b Mercedes and those weren't the fastest cars but what a dream to work on. None of this computerized stuff. So that was back in 69 and have been working on my own cars ever since. Unfortunately all of the injuries have caught up on me and it's getting to painful to do the work although it's been so rewarding being able to be self sufficient! So lately I've been looking at Lexus' and from what I can tell they seem to be the best built cars out there. Would love to here your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work.

This video is so explicit and for dummies ....thank you for your effort !

This VVT system always seemed more complicated than it needed to be, and the dependence on extra solenoids and motor oil moving down narrow channels made me wonder how long they would last. However it seems like these systems are holding up fine, so far. Even better reason to change motor oil frequently, ha ha. Good video, welcome to the new shop!

I was wondering about a fail safe if the solenoids stopped working all together as solenoids have been known to do.

Yes, they are pretty reliable now. But yes frequent oil changes with these setups is crucial. cheers

The solenoid is usually spring loaded inside where if it were to fail t will go to a position where there wont be any damage, either valve to valve or valve to piston. cheers

Like to know where the VVT Filter Screen is on a 3.3L 2006 Sienna - better to clean that first than go replacing things that might not need replacing.. although I am sure after 200K or more they might be a bit more gummy than a bear.

Great explanation. Wish you all the best in your new place and look forward to more videos.

Your the best at explaining theory and practical mechanics. Congratulations on the new house and shop. I always enjoy your videos. If by moving there means it will make it easier for you to make videos then your right, it's a win, win, and maybe another win indeed.

Thank you.I have this engine in my Aveo 2010.I will clean my cam position solenoids and hopefully cure my intermittent acceleration(bucking)problem.I did not know the exact theory behind the variable timing but your explanation was right to the point.Thanks again

This video was fantastic! Thanks for the great explanation

Outstanding job buddy, keep up the hard work it's greatly appreciated🙂

Great video. I love how you always explain some of the more seemly mysterious automotive theories into ways people can understand. Congrats on your new combo house workshop. Its so nice to see people stand up to landlords who are always trying to raise rents on good tenants. Im proud of u.

Man good job on explanation of that really hit home and I understand much more clearly now thank you

How is this not the #1 educational channel on youtube yet?

Your videos beat any money shot!

New viewer and sub here! So living on my own and now having to do work on my own for vehicles, I had my first engine indicator come on. Wanting to learn to do things on my own, got myself a bluetooth obd2 reader and app. Now I am learning about what the part I will be fixing has to do with how my car works. This is leading me into a rabbit hole of education on, well put honestly, how vehicles work :) And this so far is what led me to your content and I love how you present things :D

Thanks, that was a great explanation

Thank you for your nice video. Good luck with all your work no matter which one of four above engine moves you do.

Hella VTEC, yo! Hahaha that made my day bro

Congratulation to your new house and shop.... I really enjoy watching your video and learned a lot.

Thanks man. Good job.

very good video

Excellent tutorial

Your engine looks similar, if not identical, to my Chevy Sonic 1.8L LUW. I just replaced my head gasket and also ground the valves, removed tonnes of carbon buildup on the exhaust valves and Pistons. Great video. Now I know why I don't have an EGR valve. The LWE 1.8L carries an air pump. Just before putting my head back on, one of my dog was not feeling well that day and vomited on the head, wiped it out but I am guessing the oil filter and PCV system should rid the rest of it 😂😂😂

EXCELLENT VIDEO THANKS VERY MUCH!
