The valve train is arguably the most critical and sensitive portion of the engine. That's why we developed our Laser Valve Tracking System (LVTS). With the LVTS, you can precisely identify, document and record crucial characteristics of the valve train such as valve bounce, lofting, spring harmonics, and pushrod deflection.

To use the LVTS, first create a baseline valve trace by tracking the valve at a stable engine speed (typically 2,000 - 3,000 RPM). Then increase the engine speed to the next RPM you've preset in the test set-up screen. The SPINTRON will record and graph each new valve trace over the baseline trace. This will allow you to compare valve-train stability at various RPM, which is an ideal way to prove or disprove new products, theories and materials. The SPINTRON will perform these tests at speeds from 500 to 20,000 RPM.
