The present invention relates to a rocker arm (16) for an internal combustion engine (12). The rocker arm (16) comprises a cavity (41) with a cavity wall (42) at least partially accommodating a lash adjustment piston (44) for hydraulic lash adjustment. The rocker arm (16) further comprises a lash stop surface (46). At least a portion of the lash adjustment piston (44) is adapted to abut the lash stop surface (46) during at least one operating condition of the rocker arm (16). The cavity (41) comprises a lash adjustment chamber (50) at least partially delimited by the lash adjustment piston (44). The rocker arm (16) further comprising a control fluid conduit (52) and a valve assembly (54) located between the lash adjustment chamber (50) and the control fluid conduit (52), as seen in an intended direction of flow from the control fluid conduit (52) to the lash adjustment chamber (50).
