Chris - are you referring to the magnetic valve control systems that are under development? I watched a TLC or Discovery Channel program on futuristic cars/engines and they devoted a segment of the show to this new magnetic valve train system. I thought it seemed really doable and was very interested in it. Could you imagine the friction reduction, not to mention the reciprocating weight reductions in losing the pushrods, lifters and cam!
Neat stuff.
