Engine manufacturers have spent years working around the limitations of the camshaft. The results are myriad proprietary solutions. Honda has VTEC, short for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. Toyota has VVT-i. BMW has VANOS, Ford has VCT. All these systems provide ways to adjust the valve action to some degree. VANOS works by allowing the camshaft to slightly rotate a few degrees relative to its normal timing, similar to moving a tooth or two on the timing chain. While these systems do work, they tend to be mechanically complex, and expensive to repair.

Finally, WRT to legislation: what would the motivation be? switching from carburetors to EFI dramatically reduced hydrocarbon emissions and, with them, smog. What public good would we realize with camless engines? Most car engines spend most of their lives operating in a very predictable, narrow band of operating conditions, so optimizing camshaft profiles for that scenario is not a big deal. I don’t see any major efficiencies to be gained from camless engines. Generators similar diesel-electric systems run at even more controlled speeds/loads, the whole point being to maximize efficiency, so the benefits of going camless for them would be even less.

I remember a drill that was a hammer drill, but you could shut off the rotary action for use as a muffler chisel or similar use. I believe it was made by Skill or B&D.

Villanova ended up as the Big East champion after Marquette dropped its fourth straight game.  This time, it was an 86-84 loss to Georgetown on Senior Night.  That league tournament could be won by anyone.  Marquette has dropped to a 5-seed in the current bracket and is still the top seeded team from the Big East.

New for 2019 on the Versys 1000 SE LT+ motorcycle is a contactless-type quick shifter that allows for ultra quick, full power upshifts and clutchless downshifts. The Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) detects that the shift lever has been actuated, and sends a signal to the ECU to cut ignition so that the next gear can be engaged for clutchless shifting. During deceleration, the KQS system controls engine speed to perfectly match engine RPM, which smoothly engages the lower gear, allowing effortless downshifts.

But considering how weird this season is and how mediocre Belmont’s bubble competition is, you can’t rule them out. Too many twists and turns and pothole remain on 2019’s version of the road to Selection Sunday.

“The first three possessions of the third quarter we were a little disappointed not because they were terrible shots, but they were one-pass shots,” said Nanticoke Area coach John Beggs. “We had three straight possessions where we shot the ball and didn’t share the ball.

Mark Bavaro of Danvers remains just one of two North Shore athletes featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated — in his case, on the magazine’s 1987 NFL Preview issue.  

Instead, after two days and many miles on some of my favorite SoCal roads, I’m left with a lingering resentment that we could’ve been riding this machine for months. We could’ve logged thousands of miles, had a shootout with its direct competitors, and just maybe, had some shuffling of the 2018 MOBOs. The KTM 790 Duke is so good that it doesn’t make me grateful to finally ride it. It frustrates me that we had to wait so long.
