VCM = Variable Cylinder Management or we stop the valve train on a couple of cylinders turning it into a V4 instead of putting a six speed transmission to reduce RPMs. Major POS. Valve cover gaskets go bad and required disassembly of half of the intake manifold to change. GM tried this and had similar issues.

Yeah was that the GM cylinder deactivation experiment? Heard that was short lived. Good thought but really needs longer term R&D
