    Abstract: A variable valve actuation system in one form includes a rocker coupled with a valve stem at one end and a cam follower at the other end. The rocker is operable to rotate about a fixed axis and the cam follower includes a set of lower rollers operable to follow one cam lobe and an upper roller operable to follow another cam lobe. A leaf spring can be used to couple the cam follower with the rocker. A cam shaft can have a nested configuration that includes an inner shaft, an intermediate tube, and an outer tube. Cam lobes can be fastened to the cam shaft by fastening through each of the inner shaft, intermediate tube, and outer tube. The cam lobes can be attached by at least two devices inserted from either side of the cam shaft and that are not inserted at least through the inner shaft.

    Abstract: A diesel engine includes a cylinder block having a cylinder cavity defined therein. A cylinder head is coupled to the cylinder block and includes a lower semi-hemispherical surface defined thereon that defines an upper boundary of a combustion chamber. The engine includes a piston slideably disposed within the cylinder cavity that includes a piston crown having an upper surface configured to define a first portion of a lower boundary of the combustion chamber. The upper surface of the piston crown includes an axi-symmetric semi-hemispherical shape configured to correspond to the lower semi-hemispherical surface of the cylinder head.

    Abstract: A cylinder head includes novel designs for undercuts, contours of the outer enclosure, coolant jackets, and other cavities within an outer enclosure of the cylinder head. The cylinder head design enables the reduction of weight of the head while maintaining structural integrity of the head, and improves control of temperatures in intake side and exhaust side zones of the heads to improve operational efficiency of the engine. A method is provided for additive manufacturing of the cylinder head including the disclosed designs.

    Abstract: An idler shaft (100) used in an engine (10) having a gear cover (16) and a cylinder block (18). The idler shaft (100) includes an integral body (114) having a cylindrical shape. The idler shaft (100) is compressed between the gear cover (16) and the cylinder block (18) when assembled together such that the integral body (114) of the idler shaft (100) provides a clamp load and axial sealing between the gear cover (16) and the cylinder block (18). The idler shaft (100) further includes a passage way (116) fluidly connected to at least one of: the cylinder block (18) and the gear cover (16) for accommodating transmission of a fluid for the engine (10).

    Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a skirt and a crown coupled to the skirt. The crown is produced in isolation from the skirt using an additive manufacturing process. The piston includes a first air gap between the crown and the skirt. According to an example embodiment, the crown includes a plurality of sections produced in isolation from the skirt. The crown may include a second air gap disposed between two of the plurality of sections.
