Method and apparatus for hydraulic clip and reset of engine brake systems utilizing lost motion

摘要

An internal combustion engine may include a hydraulic linkage used to transfer motion from a valve train element, such as a cam, to an engine valve. Method and apparatus for selectively limiting the motion transferred by the hydraulic linkage from the valve train element to the engine valve are disclosed. The motion transferred by the hydraulic linkage may be limited by a means for resetting or clipping that is integrated into the rocker arm/shaft assembly provided in the valve train.
