EG-42 ENGINE 2Z-FE ENGINE MECHNICL VLVE MECHNISM 1. General The valve mechanism uses a VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system to achieve lower fuel consumption and higher engine performance, and to reduce exhaust emissions. For details of VVT-i control, refer to page EG-23. Intake and exhaust efficiency is increased due to larger total port areas. The intake and exhaust camshafts are driven by a timing chain. long with increase in the amount of valve lift, a shimless type valve lifter is used. This valve lifter raises the cam contact surface.
