CAMLESS ENGINE DESIGN
A camless valve control system for an internal combustion engine, includes a hydraulic pump, with a rotating shaft timed to the operation of the engine and a hydraulic actuator configured to selectively open and close one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of the engine. The hydraulic actuator includes a rotating cylindrical pump body and one or more control rings with holes channeling the flow of the hydraulic control fluid to affect the selective opening and closing of the one of the intake value and the exhaust valve. The pump body includes a cylindrical center portion configured to receive torque from the hydraulic pump and at least one channel providing a flow of hydraulic control fluid from the pump.

OIL SUPPLY CONTROL DEVICE OF ENGINE
An oil supply control device includes: a memory which stores first master data constituted by predetermined control value; a hydraulic controller which outputs the control value to an adjusting device to cause a hydraulic pressure to coincide with a target hydraulic pressure; and a determination portion which determines whether or not a first difference between an output control value and the control value of the first master data lies within a predetermined allowable range, wherein the hydraulic controller starts to control the adjusting device with use of the control value of the first master data, when the first difference lies within the allowable range, and starts to control the adjusting device with use of the control value of second master data, when the first difference does not lie within the allowable range, the control value of the second master data causing the first difference to lie within the allowable range.
