I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a quick search didn't answer my question. Does the s2000 have a second cam profile on both the intake and exhaust. I seemed to remember that it was only on the intake side, but the recent posting of disasembled engine pictures seem to show the additional lobes on both cams.
Thanks

Here is a nice graphical representation of what happens at VTEC engagement...

In addition to the links Schatten provides, that should be a nice overview...

Older Honda VTEC engines had simply on the intake side, While all Acura VTECs existed on both sides. The S2000 has this on Both intake and Exhaust.
