GASKET WITH PUSHROD RETAINER

摘要

In an engine (10) having a rocker member (32) adapted to rock about an axis (36) intermediate the rocker member and a pushrod (44) extending from a lower body (34, 14) to an upper body (42, 34) and engaging an end of the rocker member (41), a gasket (48, 58) for sealing the lower body to the upper body is provided. The gasket (48, 54) includes a sealing portion (56, 58) adapted to substantially seal at least a portion of the upper body to the lower body, and a pushrod support portion (60) extending outwardly from the sealing portion (56, 58) adapted to engage the pushrod (44). At least a portion of the pushrod support portion (60) engaging the pushrod (44) is constructed from a material that is softer than the material of the pushrod.
