The liners are the spiny-type, which have been manufactured so that their casting exteriors form large
irregular surfaces in order to enhance the adhesion between the liners and the aluminum cylinder block.
The enhanced adhesion helps heat dissipation, resulting in a lower overall temperature and heat
deformation of the cylinder bores.
Water jacket spacers are provided in the water jacket of the cylinder block.
They suppress the water flow in the center of the water jackets, guide the coolant above and below the
cylinder bores, and ensure uniform temperature distribution. As a result, the viscosity of the engine oil that
acts as a lubricant between the bore walls and the pistons can be lowered, thus reducing friction.

7. VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System
General
The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft within a range of 40 (of Crankshaft Angle)
to provide valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine condition. This realizes proper torque in
all the speed ranges as well as realizing excellent fuel economy, and reducing exhaust emissions.
Using the engine speed signal, vehicle speed signal, and the signals from mass air flow meter, throttle
position sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor, the ECM can calculate optimal valve timing for
each driving condition and controls the camshaft timing oil control valve. In addition, the ECM uses
signals from the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor to detect the actual valve timing,
thus providing feedback control to achieve the target valve timing.
