Funny thing is, I still have that engine and it runs. Perhaps we are overthinking these boat engines.

Electric valve actuators are an old idea. Will it ever be viable? I don't know but for me it evokes memories of the Wankel engine.

They used 48v to actuate the injectors on the 6.0powerstroke. If they could use solenoids to control the injection, it should work on valves.

I would think this would greatly improve valve life. The valves could be closed with less force and there would be no lash adjust. The cam profile would be infinitely variable.

http://www.coatesengine.com/csrv-system.html This is something a little different that has been in development by an NJ company for about 15yrs or so , as I recall from 1st hearing about it. Looks they they finally hit it huge with a $100 mil licensing agreement for a Chinese company to mass produce.
