Its a doorway sort of. the rod that passes upwards thru the head is designed like a pushrod where it seats on the valve door way. there is a notch in the side of the rod to help stop it from opening during compression stroke via the use of the locking solenoid. This reduced the amperage needed in our other concept relating to the other board.the main large nut on the top threads into the head to keep the valve rod inside the head and puts tension on the opposing spring. there is a lock nut as well on the top to adjust spring reaction time as well as opening distance.exhaust rod removes from the top.***cant figure out a lubrication method for the area where the rod meets the exhaust valve door (designed like pushrod to lifter method). fuel injectorlocated where it normally isspark pluglocated where it normally issparkDIS system employed.
