Question 9 / 10

Mark for Review

According to the source, why is it advantageous for the intake valve in a typical engine to open slightly before the piston reaches TDC?

To increase engine vibration for diagnostics

To allow more time for the air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinder

To reduce the engine's overall compression ratio

To simplify the valve train mechanism

Question 10 / 10

Mark for Review

What is the primary advantage of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) systems in modern engines?

To increase torque only at high RPM

To eliminate the need for a timing belt

To optimize performance and efficiency across a range of operating conditions

To significantly increase the engine's redline
