The Toyota Avanza (Daihatsu Xenia build on the same platform ) is a mini MPV designed and produced in Indonesia[2] and also assembled in Malaysia[citation needed], with supervision from Toyota, who also sells the car under their Daihatsu brand. The car was launched at the Gaikindo Auto Expo in 2003 and sold over 100,000 units that year. The name "Avanza" was taken from the Italian word avanzato, which means "advance".

The Avanza is a new model developed as a low premier MPV to split the Toyota Kijang to two different models; the other being the Toyota Innova, which is of higher-spec and aimed at a higher market.

In addition to Indonesia and Malaysia, the Avanza is sold in Brunei, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, Mexico (the only North American country to sell it, although the unrelated and similar Scion xB is sold in the United States and Canada) and China.

HONDA ULUNG C70
The Honda C70 Passport was a later, larger-displacement version of the Honda Super Cub, with more power and the same cheap economical ride and reliability. It was introduced in the USA, Canada, Asia, and Vietnam in 1970; the first models were called C70 but in 1980 the C70 Passport was introduced.

It had a 72 cc (4.4 cu in) air-cooled single overhead cam engine, a semi-automatic 3-speed gearbox, and enough horse power to pull this bike to a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). First models had 6 v electrics; in 1982, 12 v electrics and CDI ignition were introduced to further improve the performance of the engine. All models have a full-enclosed drive chain for less maintenance.

Someone previously mentioned the basic tenet of determining OHV v.
OHC - the head either has a spark plug and fins (OHV) or a round
cover (OHC) on the left.

The older pushrod OHV (over head valve) engine uses long thin round
rods (pushrods) that reach from the cam in the crankcase to the head
to actuate the valves.

The OHC (over head cam) engine drives the valves with a chain or gear
driven cam in the head.

The round cover on the left side of the head is for access to the
driven cam gear - OHC.

The pushrod engine has fins on the left side - OHV.

Also - the pushrod OHV engine has an oddly-shaped rounded cover on
top of the head, the sparkplug on the LEFT side, and the cylinder has
fins on BOTH sides.

1960's C50 Pushrod OHV:

The OHV has a smooth side on the left side of the cylinder (cam chain
idler gear bolts in there), the round left side head cover (cam chain
driven gear) and a square, lightly finned cover on top of the head
(over the rocker arms).

1980 C70 OHC:

Most low-tech American car engines are OHV. The cam is in the
crankcase, uses "lifters" that ride on the cam to translate the
rotating lobes into direct motion and long metal rods in the the top
of the lifters to reach the rocker arms in the head to actuate the
valves.

Higher-tech engines usually are OHC. Pushrods and lifters add extra
weight, add reciprocating mass (vibration), and a little greater
chance of failure (bent rods). OHC engines turn easier and have less
vibration, so they usually rev considerably higher.

Confusing point, but easily straightened out - almost all engines are
OHV (except older lamn mowers, flathead Harleys and things with no
valves like rotary's and 2-strokes), as the valves are over the head
- OHC included (valves are indeed over the head).

In an OHC, the one thing that's different is that the cam is on top
of the engine, and the rocker arms ride directly on it to actuate the
valves (no pushrods). BM

The Kia Sephia (known as the Mentor in some markets) was a compact car / small family car manufactured by the Korean automaker Kia Motors from 1992 to 2000. It was the marque's venture into low cost family cars for the overseas market and was sold as either a hatchback or a sedan. It was powered by 1.5 (Europe), 1.6 and 1.8 L fuel injected inline four-cylinder gasoline engines. In the United Kingdom, it had a starting price of less than £10,000, right up to the end of production in 2004. This meant that it was competing on price, but not quality, with the likes of the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 206, despite being of a comparable size to the likes of the Ford Focus. In the UK, Autocar Magazine described it as being "A gem that isn't left wanting in the handling department" and praised its "on-demand firecracker performance and particularly sweet free-revving 1.8-litre engine." Sales were not particularly high, as the car's main attraction was its bargain price and it offered little in the way of dynamic qualities.

The Mentor nameplate was dropped on hatchback models following the launch of the Kia Shuma in 1999, although the Mentor sedan was sold until the Kia Cerato range was launched in 2004. The Sephia/Mentor was also the basis of the Timor in Indonesia.




I-VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. This system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda R&D engineer Ikuo Kajitani.[1] It can be said that VTEC, the original Honda variable valve control system, originated from REV (Revolution-modulated valve control) introduced on the CBR400 in 1983 known as HYPER VT EC.[2] VTEC was the first system of its kind, though other variable valve timing and lift control systems have been produced by other manufacturers (MIVEC from Mitsubishi, VVTL-i from Toyota, VarioCam Plus from Porsche, VVL from Nissan, etc).
