摘要： Apparatus and methods for hydraulic valve actuation of engine valves are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of slave piston assemblies that impart motion to the engine valves, wherein the motion is operable to open and close the engine valves. A dual diameter master piston assembly may be used to drive the plurality of slave pistons. The dual diameter master piston assembly may be divided into two or more elements with, for example, a spring bias or a button and T-slot assembly to hold the two elements together.

摘要： Methods and systems for retaining hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic valve actuation system adapted to be installed on an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The system may include a hydraulic fluid supply connected by one or more passages to a fluid accumulator and a hydraulic valve actuator. The one or more passages may include a retaining portion elevated above portions of the fluid accumulator and/or the hydraulic valve actuator. The retaining portion may include an air vent and thus prevent back flow of all the fluid in the accumulator and/or hydraulic valve actuator to the fluid supply during periods that the engine is shut off. Retention of hydraulic fluid in the system may be further enhanced during engine shut off by selectively controlling the release of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic valve actuator during the engine shut off process.
