Re: The new GC with Hemi
Hi Mike,
I don't see how they could do it that way. They would sound like a
collapsed lifters, throwing push rods. The old Cadillac simply shut the
fuel off the "extra" cylinders. (I think?) A truck Jake lefts the
exhaust valves, causing one heck of a drag, have to push the piston up
and snap them back down, something that would blow the heck out of fuel
efficiency. Any key words or sites you may think of to research this?

Here's a description of GM's version of MDS. I saw an acticle about Daimler's
in the past, but darned if I can find it now:
http://www.popularhotrodding.com/fea...dod/index.html
The relevant text is a follows:
"Currently, we could disable just the fuel delivery," says Meagher, "but the
valves would still be opening and closing and each cylinder would still be
doing work pumping air in and out. So there would be no net gain in
efficiency--you wouldn't have eliminated the pumping losses at all."
and:
"We disable the valves through a device called a switching lifter," explains
Meagher. "This differs from a normal lifter in that there is an inner body and
an outer body connected by a spring-loaded pin. For V-8 operation, the pin is
fully expanded by the spring so the two pieces act as one and the lifter acts
like a regular lifter. When we want to disable the valve operation, we deliver
high-pressure oil to a groove in the lifter that leads to the outside end of
the pin, forcing the pin to collapse the spring. Now the two parts of the
lifter are free to move relative to one another and as the cam lobe pushes on
the follower the inner portion of the lifter pushes against another spring at
the top of the lifter and does not transfer force to the pushrod."
I believe that Eaton developed the lifter and that both GM and Daimler are
using it. Don't quote me on that, though...

From this site:
http://www.allpar.com/mopar/new-mopar-hemi.html
Quote:
The system deactivates the valve lifters. This keeps the valves in four
cylinders closed, and there is no combustion. In addition to stopping
combustion, energy is not lost by pumping air through these cylinders.
End.
Sounds sweet, eh. LOL!
