Abstract: A rocker arm for an engine valve actuator assembly is disclosed. The rocker arm may include a rocker arm body disposed between a first and second arm end. Furthermore, a rocker arm bore and an adjuster compartment may be defined proximal to the second arm end. The rocker arm may further include a roller positioned at the first arm end and operably coupled to a cam, the cam configured to actuate the rocker arm between a first and second position. The rocker arm may further include a shaft inserted through a shaft mounting aperture and the rocker arm is configured to rotate about the shaft between the first and second positions. Furthermore, a fluid passage may be defined within the rocker arm body extending between a first passage opening formed in a bearing surface of the shaft mounting aperture and a second passage opening that opens into the adjuster compartment.
