An engine valve actuator for an internal combustion engine is provided. The engine valve actuator includes a housing having an opening. An adjustment member is disposed in the housing and defines a chamber. A piston is disposed in the opening of the housing and has a protrusion adapted to be received in the chamber of the adjustment member. The piston has a first position where the protrusion of the piston is disposed in the chamber and a portion of the piston contacts a corresponding portion of the adjustment member and a second position where the portion of the piston is separated from the corresponding portion of the adjustment member. A fluid passageway is adapted to provide pressurized fluid to the opening. The pressurized fluid acts on the piston to move the piston towards the second position to thereby allow pressurized fluid to enter the chamber to prevent the piston from returning to the first position. A push rod is operatively engaged with the piston and is adapted to engage and open the engine valve.
