Abstract: A bearing support member (28) and bearings (34) form a subassembly that can be inserted, in the direction of the axis of the bearings (34), into a bore of a rocker arm (26). A support stud (30) can then be passed through an aperture (56) in the rocker arm and a bore (32) in the bearing support member (28) so as to engage the rocker arm (26) and maintain alignment of the rocker arm (26) and bearings (34). Also disclosed are an inner sleeve (42) and particular configuration of the bearing support member (28) to facilitate manufacture of the bearing support member (28) by powdered metal forming.
