Abstract: Provided is a V engine which uses common cylinder heads, and permits favorable arrangement of oil passages so as to accommodate various oil regulating features that are required to operate valve property varying mechanisms. Each end of each cylinder head is formed with a plurality of distribution oil passages opening out at an upper surface of the cylinder head for supplying oil pressure from a main gallery to a valve actuating mechanism. A pair of oil passage connecting members internally defining mutually different connecting oil passages are attached to the upper surfaces of the corresponding end parts of the respective cylinder heads.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a valvetrain that includes a rocker arm assembly on which is mounted an electronic device and at least a part of a generator. The generator converts some of the mechanical energy that is transmitted through the rocker arm assemblies into electricity. That electricity may be used to power an electric latch, a transmitter, or another type of rocker arm assembly-mounted electrical device. Various generator configurations are described. In some configurations, the generator is piezoelectric. In other configurations, the generator is electromagnetic. In some configurations, the generator is driven by force transmitted by the rocker arm assembly from a cam. In some configurations, the generator is driven by vibrations.

The body has a first side operably coupled with a cylinder head and a second side having bearing surfaces with bearing inserts. The bearing inserts support the camshaft. A series of apertures extend between the first and second sides of the body. Lobes of the camshaft operably couple with the valves of the cylinder head through the series of apertures extending between the first and second sides of the body.

Abstract: A moment-cancelling, four-stroke engine is disclosed. The engine includes a first cylinder having a first piston and a second cylinder having a second piston, a first crankshaft operably connected to the first piston and a second crankshaft operably connected to the second piston. The first crankshaft rotates in a first direction and the second crankshaft rotates in a second direction that is opposite the first direction to cancel the moments applied to the engine and reduce engine vibration.

Abstract: A valve lifter with a variable lift mechanism is required to be deployed at a predetermined angle with respect to a cam unit, and the present invention is intended to achieve this requirement with a simple configuration without too much processing such as a fitting of the conventional longitudinal groove and a pin.A cam sliding contact surface of a valve lifter on which a high lift cam and a low lift cam slides is formed to be a smooth inclined surface and a cam slide starting point is lower than a cam slide terminating point, thereby establishing an elevation difference between the cam slide starting point and the cam slide terminating point. As a result, since the high lift cam and the low lift cam always move uphill on the cam sliding contact surface, namely, from the low cam slide starting point toward the high cam terminating point along the slope of the cam sliding contact surface, the valve lifter is not subjected to a force around the reciprocating axis from the cam and therefore, the direction of the valve lifter is maintained constant.
