A VVA mechanism which comprises a further rocker arm(s) that is slidingly moveable on an arcuate locus that increase/decrease the amplitude of the actuation. Also a VVD mechanism comprising of a double pair of cam followers engaging cam means of which one pair of cam followers is rotatable about the care linkage. Differential inputs in form of pinion gears meshed with racks along the cam follower linkage are used to adjust the pin position.
A simple desmodromic mechansim that requires no additional camshafts, gears, springs or timing chain/belt to operate engine valves directly from the engine output shaft.
