Maybe a silly question that I will regret asking but looking at my wheel, blue shows intake valve opening at 6 degrees BTDC, ( lets call this A ) it also shows Intake valve closing at 42 Degrees ABDC ( lets call this C ) as per the FSM shows.
The engine is turning clockwise rotation, A and C are part of the same lobe. This would mean that it has to travel less distance if passing thru area B than it would have to travel if moving thru D.
I cant seem to grasp how it passes thru D to make up that 6+180+42
The way I am looking at it there are only 132 degrees between A and C cause the engine is turning clockwise.
Its been a long day but what am I missing?
Intake valve ramps up and A starts to take place, at some point it reaches intake lobe centerline B and then drops down the other side to C.
Intake valve opens and closes......
I have a feeling I must be looking at something all wrong but until I can muddle through these obvious simplistic questions I cannot proceed into the harder to grasp areas.
