Abstract: A valve actuation system is disclosed for an internal combustion engine. The system may have a gas exchange valve, a rocker arm pivotally connected to a shaft, a pushrod, a lash adjuster disposed in the pushrod. The system may also have an adjusting screw disposed in the rocker arm and configured to engage and fluidly supply the lash adjuster. The adjusting screw may include a shaft having a threaded outer annular surface, and a head connected to the shaft and having a rounded outer surface and a flat end face. The adjusting screw may also include an axial passage passing through the flat end face, a radial passage formed in the shaft and extending from the threaded bore of the rocker arm to the axial passage, and at least one radial groove formed in the rounded outer surface of the head and passing through the axial passage.
