eccentric adjuster shit isnt complex? How about a simple solid-state valve/actuating body that bolts to the head and plugs into the wiring harness like a fuel injector. not only can deliver 10k rpm (or so) without a timing chain, cam, all that inertia shit, but could probably provide electronic telemetry, per valve, and allow amazing control of not just mixture but airflow itself. No cam: valve lift, timing, and duration determined strictly by software. It sounds intoxicating to me, but maybe i have a problem.
