The SOHC V-8 design features one camshaft in each cylinder head operating 3 valves — 2 intake and 1 exhaust
The SOHC design provides a finer level of valve control
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) optimizes timing of the intake and exhaust valve actuation during the combustion cycle
Charge Motion Control Valves (CMCV) help to provide quick and efficient combustion, especially at lower speeds
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) uses electronic sensors and motors instead of mechanical linkage to deliver
seamless and consistent engine response
Deep-skirt engine block and low-friction internal components for greater reliability and fuel economy
Silent-design chain cam drive contributes to durability and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness
Coil-on-plug ignition system design for high-mileage durability
Centrally located, unique design, platinum-tipped spark plug helps provide surefire ignition and complete combustion
A fail-safe cooling system is designed to protect the engine from potential damage due to a loss of coolant.
If the engine overheats,it will automatically switch from 8-cylinder operation to alternating 4-cylinder operation.
The vehicle will continue to operate,but with limited engine power. This system allows the driver to travel a short
distance to obtain service or to reach a repair facility. The distance that can be traveled depends upon
vehicle load, outside temperature and road conditions
