    摘要: An apparatus includes a ball plunger post and a valve stem post extending upward from a base, the ball plunger post having a size and a shape of a hydraulic lift adjuster (HLA) of a predefined engine, and the valve stem post having a size and a shape of a valve stem of the predefined engine. The apparatus includes a fixture sized and shaped to receive a switching rocker arm assembly, the switching rocker arm assembly having a first end for pivoting and a second end for latching, and a latch with a latch pin fitting into a latch bore and a latch seat. The apparatus includes a latch rod for positioning within the latch bore to rest upon the latch seat, the latch rod having a hardness higher than that of the latch seat and a same diameter as the latch pin, and adapted for coining the latch seat.

    摘要: A rocker arm assembly can comprise a main rocker arm and a latch assembly. A latching arm can control the latch assembly and thereby control the extent to which a secondary rocker arm acts on the main rocker arm. The main rocker arm can comprise a main body configured to rotate around a rocker shaft, a valve end extending from the main body, a reaction end extending from the main body, and a latch bore. A bias pin can extend from the main body. The latch assembly can be configured to selectively rotate in the latch bore. The latch assembly can comprise a first latch end comprising a switch plate configured to receive actuation force on a first side and to receive bias force from the bias pin on a second side. A second latch end can comprise a first latch seat and a second latch seat.

    摘要: A switching roller finger follower comprises an inner arm assembly. A pair of outer arms surround the inner arm assembly. A pivot axle connects the inner arm assembly to pivot with respect to the pair of outer arms from a starting position to a lost motion position. A latch assembly comprises a latch selectively movable from a latched position latching the inner arm assembly to move dependent with the outer arms and an unlatched position unlatching the inner arm assembly to pivot independent of the outer arms. A stop pin spans between the pair of outer arms and through an inner port in an axle of inner arm assembly. The stop pin comprises a clearance fit with the inner port, and the stop pin is configured pivotable independent of the outer arms. At least one return spring biases the stop pin toward the starting position.
