Abstract:
A switchable finger follower, including an inner lever and an outer lever. The outer lever is mounted for pivoting movement to the inner lever. A coupling device is located on one of the inner or outer levers and has a coupling pin arranged to move between a locking position, in which the inner and outer levers are connected together for movement in an activation direction, and an unlocked position, in which the inner lever is pivotable relative to the outer lever. A coupling projection is located on the other of the inner or outer lever. The coupling pin engages beneath a coupling surface of the projection in the locking position, and a stop surface of the projection contacts a second stop surface on the one of the inner lever or the outer lever. The second stop surface is located on a removable shim that is replaceable for lash adjustment.
