摘要:
A high-speed steam admission poppet valve structure in a steam engine employs a low-inertia valve element spring-biased into seated position in a valve seat in the end wall of a cylinder and employs a valve lifter member fixed to the face of the associated piston for cyclically unseating the valve element, the lifter member and the valve element having cooperable engageable surfaces of conforming configuration which are maintained in engagement in both the unseating and seating of the valve element for maintaining the sealing surface of the valve element both parallel to and centered in relation to the valve seat in the seating of the valve element.The clearance volume of the cylinder may be adjusted manually or automatically to regulate the power output and efficiency of the engine.

An adjuster is provided for setting lash between an engine valve and an associated rocker arm, disposed under an engine valve cover. A portion of the adjuster extends through a passage defined by the cover and outwardly thereof, and overrunning clutch and detent means are associated with the adjuster so that lash may be adjusted with the engine running and with the valve cover in place.
摘要:
Mechanical lash adjustment mechanism for use as a direct replacement for a hydraulic lash adjuster in overhead cam engines and the like. The lash adjuster includes a stud threaded into an insert and having means at one end for supporting a rocker arm. The insert is designed to fit directly into an opening provided in a conventional engine head which opening normally accommodates a hydraulic lash adjuster.
