A valvetrain assembly comprises a deactivatable rocker arm where a pushrod is configured to transfer a valve lift profile through to a valve end to a valve or valve bridge. A castellation assembly in a carrier and alternative two-piece rocker arm assemblies with rotary or linear actuators are shown for deactivating the transfer of the valve lift profile.

A latch assembly comprises a latch pin configured to reciprocate in a latch bore. The latch pin comprises a main body comprising a first plug end, a second plug end, and a clearance between the first plug end and the second plug end. The latch pin is configured to selectively move in the latch bore. A rocker arm assembly can comprise the latch assembly. An outer arm can be configured to rotate about a rocker shaft and comprise the latch bore. An inner arm can at least be partially disposed within the outer arm and configured to rotate. When the latch pin is in the activated position, the inner arm is configured to transfer force to the outer arm via the latch pin. When the latch pin is in the deactivated position, the inner arm is configured to move in the clearance and in the lost motion gap.

A compression release mechanism including a camshaft, a cam provided on the camshaft and protruding outward in a radial direction of the camshaft, a lever, of which a portion is disposed in the camshaft, a support shaft supporting the lever such that the lever is swingable between a first position and a second position relative to the camshaft, and a spring attached to the camshaft, to urge the lever toward the first position. The lever includes a cam portion configured to protrude out from the camshaft with the lever at the first position, a centrifugal weight for moving the lever toward the second position in accordance with rotation of the camshaft, and an abutment portion configured to be in abutment with an inner peripheral surface of the camshaft with the lever at the first position, and be located away from the inner peripheral surface with the lever at the second position.

A control valve (1) for a camshaft adjustment device, and to an internal combustion engine having a camshaft adjustment device and a control valve (1) is provided. The control valve (1) includes a valve housing (3) and a pressure medium guiding insert (23) arranged coaxially in a recess of the valve housing (3). A discharge passage (27, 28) of the pressure medium guiding insert (23) transitions into a discharge duct (22) running in the axial direction, wherein the discharge connection T can be connected to the control connection A, B and wherein the discharge connection T is arranged in a region between the second end (8), which is opposite the first end (6), and the control connections A, B.

Harley Davidson motorcycles motors have a gap between the rocker arm shaft and the cam plate bolt, this bolt is supposed to lock the rocker arm shaft but because of the gap the shaft rotates with the rocker arm, hitting the bolt causing an annoying tick. The Rocker arm bushing inserts go between the rocker arm support plate bolt and the rocker arm shaft locking the shaft and preventing it from rotating and hitting the bolt that cause an annoying tick. The bushings are called Rocker arm bushing inserts. Each cylinder head requires two inserts, or four per motor. Inserts can be made from any material and length can vary. Inserts must fit inside a 11/32 hole and around a 5/16 bolt shank.

A compression-release engine brake system operating an exhaust valve of an engine during a compression-release engine braking operation. The compression-release brake system comprises an exhaust rocker arm and a brake reset device disposed in a reset bore formed in the exhaust rocker arm. The brake reset device comprises a reset check valve, a slider-piston slidably disposed in the reset bore and an external slider bias spring biasing the piston foot away from the brake reset device. The external slider bias spring is disposed outside the reset bore and around the piston-slider. The brake reset device permits pressurized hydraulic fluid to flow from a supply conduit to a reset conduit to supply a brake actuation piston when the reset check valve is open. The actuation piston extends and engages the exhaust valve toward the end of a compression stroke of the internal combustion engine, and the brake reset device resets.

A rocker arm assembly can comprise a cam side rocker arm portion configured to selectively rotate about a pivot location. The cam side rocker arm portion can comprise a first socket above the pivot location, and a cam end configured to receive a lift profile from a cam lobe. A valve side rocker arm portion can be configured to rotate about the pivot location relative to the cam side rocker arm portion. The valve side rocker arm portion can comprise a second socket above the pivot location. A lost motion spring can span between the first socket and the second socket.
