    Static toe settings thread60-365967

    Hi Brian, I am planning to experiment a bit but I'm waiting until I have my summer tires fitted again, low corner stiffness of my winter tires masks a lot of the feel. In any case this experiment wont help me to understand why either setup behaves the way that it does. I don't know the...

    Help pls in DMU Kinematics with valve-gear modelling

    That was a quick reply, thanks. I've sorted it now, I was trying to use a straight line on the top of the valve stem, putting a curved line here (in the plane of the lobe) solved it. Thanks,

    Help pls in DMU Kinematics with valve-gear modelling

    I'm in a similar situation. I have managed to create the joints but the simulation doesn't work as it should. I have a valve running in a guide with a cylindrical joint. Revolute joint between the cam and head. Then I’ve used the slide curve joint linking a curve around the surface of the...
