Abstract:
An adapter replaces a crankcase screw-on oil filter for an internal combustion engine and couples pressurized oil in the engine's crankcase with at least one external component. The adapter includes a valve that prevents backflow of oil from the external component to the crankcase.
Abstract:
A cam carrier assembly includes a body made of a material lighter than aluminum. 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 cam bearing lubrication structure for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head having a cam bearing region, a plug hole for an ignition plug and a plug tube fitted liquid-tight therein. The cam bearing lubrication structure includes an outer periphery oil path bypassing along an outer peripheral face of the plug tube, a main lubricating oil passage extending through the plug hole and formed to connect to the outer periphery oil path and a guide passage formed in and through the cam bearing region to connect a sliding face of the cam bearing region from the outer periphery oil path and supplying lubricating oil to a sliding face of the cam bearing region and a camshaft. In addition, a lubricating oil supplying structure is provided for a valve apparatus for further increasing the oil supply amount to achieve a further increase in the speed of the engine.
Abstract:
A oil supply structure of an internal combustion engine, includes: an oil flowing path which is formed to extend along a camshaft vertically above at least one of intake and exhaust camshafts (3a, 3b) of the internal combustion engine, and in which oil flows; an oil supply portion provided on one end side of the oil flowing path, and supplying oil to the oil flowing path; and oil ejection holes aligned along the oil flowing path, provided to be opened vertically downward, and through which the oil of the oil flowing path is ejected toward the camshaft, wherein, in the oil flowing path, a partitioning portion, which extends along the oil ejection holes toward the other end side opposite to the oil supply portion from one end side, and partitions the inside of the oil flowing path, is provided.
Abstract:
In a cam housing structure for a three-dimensional cam including: plural intake side supporting parts rotatably supporting an intake side camshaft from above; and plural exhaust side supporting parts rotatably supporting an exhaust side camshaft from above at an upper part of a cylinder head, any one of the supporting parts of the intake side supporting parts or the exhaust side supporting parts is coupled to two or more pieces of the other supporting parts via reinforcing members.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the simplified and accurately positioned fixing of a camshaft module with a camshaft and bearing blocks on a cylinder head. The bearing blocks, aligned in axial direction and with respect to an angle, may be fastened on the camshaft. The camshaft may be aligned via two alignment elements with respect to the cylinder head. Further, the individual bearing blocks may be screwed tightly with the cylinder head with simultaneous or interim rotation of the camshaft.
Abstract:
An internal combustion includes a crankshaft and a camshaft rotatable by the crankshaft. The internal combustion engine also includes an oil source, an engine cover, and a drive member disposed within the engine cover for transferring rotational motion from the crankshaft to the camshaft. A camshaft phaser actuated by an electric motor is disposed within the engine cover for controllably varying the phase relationship between the crankshaft and the camshaft. A supply passage communicates oil from the oil source to the camshaft phaser in order to lubricate the camshaft phaser and a drain passage drains oil from the camshaft phaser to the oil source. A sealing arrangement defines a dry zone within the engine cover to isolate the drive member from oil used to lubricate the camshaft phaser.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine may include at least one camshaft mounted via at least one bearing with at least one phase adjuster. The at least one bearing may be a rolling bearing. An oil feed ring may surround the camshaft adjacent to the rolling bearing, wherein the oil feed ring may have at least one external annular channel and at least one first radial bore aligned with a second radial bore in the camshaft. An outer diameter of the oil feed ring may be smaller than an outer diameter of the rolling bearing. An oil supply of the at least one phase adjuster may be introduced via an oil gallery defined in a cylinder head through the annular channel through the second radial bore into the camshaft.
Abstract:
A cam carrier assembly may include at least a cam carrier mounted on a cylinder head and including a support, an actuator shaft, a portion of which is mounted in the support and rotatable to control a valve life, and a cap mounted on the cylinder head and coupled to the at least a cam carrier to rotatably support the portion of the actuator shaft and surrounding and rotatably supporting the other portion of the actuator shaft, which is not surrounded by the support.
