    Abstract: A system for actuating engine valve comprises a main valve actuation motion source configured to supply main valve actuation motions to the at least one engine valve via a main motion load path, and an auxiliary valve actuation motion source separate from the main valve actuation motion source and configured to supply complementary auxiliary valve actuation motions to the at least one engine valve via an auxiliary motion load path. A lost motion component is configured, in one state, to maintain lash between the auxiliary valve actuation motion source and the auxiliary motion load path or within the auxiliary motion load path and, in another state, to take up this lash. The auxiliary valve actuation motion source is further configured to supply at least one lash-prevention valve actuation motion that substantially matches at least one of the main valve actuation motions.
