Default Cam for Turbo'd Adiabatic Engine???
Hello All,
I am a now long time fan of Smokey Yunick.
What a character.
I wish I had met him while he was alive.
Anyway, I have been readin up on his patents.
I am looking to learn more about his Hot Vapor Adiabatic Engine technology.
I have read all of his patents and am reading his books now.
Still, I need to know more about the cam profile he used.
Anyone here have an idea what cam profile he might have used?
Seems like a negative overlap profile would be needed.
Is there any history on this anywhere?
Thanks,
Gene

I used to work at Holley carb back in the 70s and 80s. Smokey was one of many name people who came there for different reasons. He was quite a character. Others were Zora Arkus Duntov, John Lingenfelter and some of the notable drag racers of the time like Grumpy Jenkins.
