electric valvetrain?
Looking at a set of pintle style 2005 5.9 RAM diesel injectors.
Im thinking these are heavy duty pintle servos that open a high pressure fuel rail port to each direct fed cylinder. What is the chance these will morf into direct no spring intake/exhaust valve actuators for an infinitely variable lift and duration valvetrain? Maybe start on a small low mass valve, low RPM OHC lawn mower engine run by a seperated Megasquirt running the duty cycle of the valve 'injectors'? Maybe use turbo or exhaust back pressure to assist as a pneumatic assist for the valves..so the pintle controls the pneumatic pressure to the low mass valve "lifters"? Maybe lower mass slide valves? Just spitballin' here......
