Found this on a search and thought some people might find it interesting. This guy explains it pretty well and has some great pics to show what he's talking about.

Enjoy

 

Not bad.

Any one know where that animation of the VTEC in action is?

 

What does the VTEC system in a Honda engine do?

Answer

If you have read How Car Engines Work, you know about the valves that let
air into the engine and let exhaust out of the engine. You also know about
the camshaft that controls the valves. The camshaft uses rotating lobes
that push against the valves to open and close them. This animation from
How Camshafts Work can help you understand how the camshaft opens and
closes the valves

That's a browser issue. If you are viewing it you have downloaded it (at least into a temporary cache). It's just a matter of saving it to your desktop or whatever.

 

I gathered as much
Can't seem to save it though
you couldn't possibly email it to me
Cheers
