    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A roller-lifter assembly for a cam-actuated engine, comprising a two-part roller lifter (10, 13, 16) comprising a pump actuator main body, a receiving portion extending from the main body (160, 161, 162, 163 164), and a cam follower comprising a roller assembly (31) or a flat tappet integrated to the main body and configured to follow a rotating cam of a cam-actuated (32) engine. A hydraulically-actuated capsule (200, 202, 203, 204, 205) is fitted to the receiving portion of the pump actuator, the capsule configured to rotate with respect to the pump actuator (100, 101, 102, 103, 104).

    Abstract: An engine roller lifter for use in a leak-valvetrain of an internal combustion engine includes a body, a roller and an anti-rotation plug. The body includes an outer peripheral surface configured for sliding movement in a bore provided in the engine. The bore is supplied oil by an oil passage communicating therewith. The body defines an opening. The roller bearing is rotatably mounted to the body and is configured for rolling contact with an engine camshaft. The anti-rotation plug is received at the opening and has a plug body including an anti-rotation protrusion that extends radially beyond an outer peripheral surface of the plug body. The anti-rotation plug can be staked into the opening of the body.
