Default help please?

I am in need of help with a technical writing paper. I am doing a paper on variable valve timing and focusing on VTEC as being one of the most well known and least understood systems, how it actually operates and what it actually does that sort of thing.

The problem is I need a primary source. Anyone here want to help me out and answer some questions I have about VTEC through AIM and is willing to give me their name/qualifications?

It will be painless, I just need something to please the teacher.

the sad part is that for this subject i am a primary source, i've discussed it to death and researched the shit out of it. i've done everything short of rip apart a head and if i had a spare engine i'd most likely do that too

well what else do you need? At work we do more VCT applications but I'm familiar with VTEC from an engineering standpoint.

i'm focusing on vtec cause it's what i know ans because i've explained it on here 3 or 4 times it should be quite easy for me to write up something on it-- 5 pages, one introduction, introduce the basics of horsepower and torque, howe the engines achieve higher output and/or increase effciency. this lady doesnt know the difference between a wheel and a steering wheel as far as i am concernedso to say the least i'm not concerned at all.
