    Abstract: A switching roller finger follower (SRFF) assembly for valve actuation comprises an outer arm, an inner arm, an inner roller, a bearing axle and a pair of outer rollers. The outer arm is pivotally coupled to a pivot axle. The inner arm is at least partially disposed within the outer arm and pivotally coupled to the pivot axle. The inner roller assembly comprise a bushing and an outer ring. The bushing defines a curved slot therein. The bushing is fixed to the inner arm. The outer ring is configured to rotate around the bushing. The bearing axle extends through the curved slot. The pair of outer rollers are disposed on each end of the bearing axle.

    Abstract: An engine brake rocker arm assembly for a valvetrain and operable in an engine drive mode and an engine braking mode. The assembly is configured to selectively open one of first and second exhaust valves in the engine braking mode and includes a brake rocker arm configured to rotate about a rocker shaft, and an engine brake capsule assembly movable between (i) a locked position configured to perform an engine braking operation, and (ii) an unlocked position that does not perform the engine braking operation. A lash setting tool is configured to removably engage the engine brake capsule assembly and move the engine brake capsule to the locked position to enable mechanical lash adjustment while the brake rocker arm is assembled in a valvetrain and the engine brake capsule is assembled in the brake rocker arm.
