    摘要: The application relates to a camshaft carrier for supporting a camshaft, an engine system, and a method of assembly. An engine system includes a cylinder block, a cylinder head, a camshaft carrier, a camshaft, and a fuel injector assembly. The cylinder head is coupled to the cylinder block and defines at least one of an inlet passage or an exhaust passage therein. The camshaft carrier is coupled to the cylinder head and the camshaft is coupled to the camshaft carrier. The fuel injector assembly is coupled to the camshaft carrier and extends through a carrier sidewall of the camshaft carrier.

    摘要: A camshaft assembly for attachment to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, the camshaft assembly includes a one-piece camshaft bearing cap having an internal bearing surface sized to receive a portion of a camshaft therein, the internal bearing surface configured to support the portion of the camshaft between 180 degrees and 360 degrees circumferentially. The one-piece camshaft bearing cap is removable from the camshaft to enable line of sight access by an operator to the cylinder head. The internal bearing surface has oil supply grooves fluidly coupled to drillings for operation of a cam phaser assembled with a drive member and the camshaft. Head bolts are used to attach the cylinder head to the engine and are accessible upon removal of the camshaft bearing cap and camshaft. Standard camshaft bearing caps can be assembled with the camshaft and the cylinder head at various attachment points.

    摘要: A combined exhaust and engine brake rocker arm assembly (20) configured to selectively open first and second exhaust valves (26, 28) includes a rocker arm body (40), an exhaust rocker arm assembly (16) formed in the rocker arm body (40), and a lost motion spigot assembly (56) including an adjustment nut (70) and guide (62) configured to receive a shaft assembly (60) for adjusting a lash of the lost motion spigot assembly (56). The shaft assembly is disposed within a bore (92) of the adjustment nut below an upper surface thereof, and an engine brake rocker arm assembly (18) is formed in the rocker arm body (40) and configured to operate in a collapse mode and a rigid mode. The lost motion spigot assembly (56) is configured to selectively engage a valve bridge (52) to open the first and second exhaust valves (26, 28), and the engine brake rocker arm assembly (18) is configured to selectively engage the valve bridge (52) to open only the first exhaust valve (26).

    摘要: A center pivot roller rocker arm assembly can comprise a main roller rocker arm, a second roller rocker arm, and a latching assembly. The main roller rocker arm can comprise a rocker shaft bore, a valve end, a cam end, and a main cam surface on the cam end. The second roller rocker arm can comprise a second rocker shaft bore, a second cam end, and a second cam surface on the second cam end. The latching assembly can be coupled to the rocker shaft bore and configured to latch and unlatch the main roller rocker arm to the second roller rocker arm. A lost motion assembly can be configured with the main and second roller rocker arms. A main cam surface can have a different extent for receiving cam actuation than a second cam surface.
