How many camshafts would it take to make a "cam in cam" engine? One... Or two? ;)Actually, it is possible to incorporate VVT into a "single-cam" OHV engine. But you have to think a bit outside the usual camshaft design box. Think "cam in cam".

Dual concentric cams are still not a single cam shaft. They are just a silly complication that works as a retrofit, but designing around one would be like specifying your home floor plan based on the size of your refrigerator, only to buy a new refrigerator based on the nook you just built.
