One Valvetronic motor is located on top of each
cylinder head towards the inside of the engine
“V”. The motors are capable of traveling from
minimum to maximum lift in 300 milli-seconds.

The Valvetronic motor must first be removed in order to remove the cylinder head
cover. The eccentric shaft must be in the minimum lift position and the motor must be
wound out from the eccentric shaft. The worm gear could otherwise be damaged when
separating the worm shaft and the worm wheel as the eccentric shaft springs back (due to
the torque compensation spring).

The Valvetronic motor worm gear rotates the
eccentric shaft clockwise or counterclockwise
at a very quick rate (1).
Due to the progressive “lobe” on the eccentric
shaft, this rotation positions the intermediate
lever (2) closer or further to the camshaft lobe.

Eccentric Shafts
The eccentric shafts (one per cylinder head) are driven by the
Valvetronic motors and are supported by four caged needle
bearing assemblies for a smooth rotation.
To assist in maintaining the set positions and counter the
valve train torque, a torque compensation spring is mounted
on the end of the shaft for tension.
Magnets are fitted in the (removable) magnetic wheel at the
end of the eccentric shaft. Together with the position sensor,
the Valvetronic Control Module determines the exact shaft
position. The eccentric shaft sensor is mounted through the
cylinder head cover (one per cylinder head) at the back.
The magnetic wheel is secured to the shaft by a bolt and is
indexed by a tab (arrow) to prevent incorrect installation.
Intermediate Lever and Roller Finger
The intermediate lever is positioned further (minimum valve
opening) or closer (maximum valve opening) to the camshaft
by the the progressive “lobe” on the eccentric shaft as it is
rotated. This offers a variable ratio effect for valve actuation.
The roller finger is used to actuate the intake valve.
The intermediate levers and roller fingers are matched (by
classification) to ensure uniform valve lift.
