    You would think after all these years

    Someone would have developed a solenoid durable enough to mount above the valve and spring to open the valve. No more cams. Tune your lift. Maybe one day

    BMW did..... Piezo crystals is what they used and it worked but wasn't anywhere near cost effective and the crystals had a short lifespan, it's actually pretty interesting if you have some time to look it up

    You dont even need an electronic solenoid. I had ideas for an oil pressure driven piston to push open the valves. Unfortunately, the new Fiat 500's use something similar. Guess I'm not so smart
