    摘要: A rocker shaft for oiling engine components includes an outer tube and an insert extending through the outer tube. The insert defines a plurality of lumens. Each of the plurality of lumens extends through the insert and is configured to receive oil from an oil pump. An engine system includes a cylinder block, a cylinder head connected to the cylinder block, an overhead structure connected to the cylinder head, and a rocker shaft connected to the overhead structure such that a first end of a rocker arm connected to the rocker shaft is positioned above a cylinder of the cylinder block. A method of manufacturing the rocker shaft includes providing an outer tube and an insert, placing the insert in the outer tube, and aligning each of a plurality of lumens defined by the insert with a plurality of outer oil holes defined by the outer tube.

    摘要: A rocker arm assembly for an engine is configured to fit about a pivot shaft that extends along a central axis. The assembly includes an intermediate shaft configured to be rotatably disposed about the pivot shaft. A cam-side arm is pivotable about the central axis and is configured to be driven by a cam. A valve-side arm is pivotable about the central axis and relative to the cam-side arm, and is configured to convert rotation of the rocker arm assembly about the central axis into operation of an engine valve. An annular compressible fluid chamber is disposed between the intermediate shaft and the valve-side arm. When the cam-side arm and the intermediate shaft are engaged, pivoting of the cam-side arm compresses fluid within the chamber, causing corresponding pivoting of the valve-side arm and operation of the valve. The fluid provides hydraulic lash adjustment.

    摘要: An engine, including a crankcase, a cylinder body extending upward from the crankcase, a cylinder head coupled to an upper portion of the cylinder body, a cylinder head cover coupled to an upper portion of the cylinder head, and a gasket disposed between the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover. The gasket includes a projection that projects along directions from an inner wall of the cylinder head and from the cylinder head cover toward a camshaft. The projection is located in a cam chain chamber, which is formed in the engine along the cylinder body, the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover, and a cam chamber formed in the engine along the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover. The projection has an oil supply portion disposed in the cam chain chamber and above a cam chain guide guiding a cam chain.

    摘要: A cover has an aperture through which an accessory gains access to the interior side of the cover and a cavity. The accessory may be any kind of sensor or actuator. To secure the accessory to the cover, an adapter coupled to the cover is provided. In one example, the adapter has a cylindrical connection section that is spin welded into place in the cavity. In another example, the adapter has self-tapping threads that engage with the surface surrounding the cavity. The adapter also has tabs extending outwardly from the cover, the tabs having a proximate section and an engagement section. The accessory has a retaining orifice that couples with the tabs in a snap-fit relationship to secure the accessory to the cover.
