I looked at the Koenigsegg valve. Specifically because he is the fella that also has the torque converter transmission.

I did more researching on the springless valve from the previous post, as one critic mentioned, to much heat soak is going on with different metals to accurately keep valve lash in check.

I had spoken with the "Thunder Brake" fellas about their compression engine brake. This man is essentially doing the same thing as the Koenigsegg valve, only all they have to control is the exhaust valve and the particular control event is no where near as involved as the complete combustion cycle. However, opening up an exhaust valve with cylinder pressure under it has become a problem.

I am soaking up all the info and tech I can. However, I have to keep it real for my familiar world. For now, probably best just to "KISS" for the meantime.
