A rocker arm assembly (10) for an internal combustion engine is provided which is lightweight and inexpensive to manufacture, which securely mounts and supports a pair of rocker arms (42) and associated structures on the cylinder head (12) of the engine, and which provides and maintains a supply of lubricant to the rocker arm bearing structures, valves (16 and 18) and push rods. The rocker arm assembly (10) includes a two part pedestal (34) which clamps the shaft (40) on which the rocker arms (42) are journaled to the engine. The base portion (36) of the pedestal (34) included a pair of positioning projections which position and support the pedestal (34) so that the proper alignment of the rocker arms (42) relative to the longitundinal axis of the engine is achieved and maintained. |
