Abstract:
A rocker arm assembly comprises a first arm, a second arm, and a latch assembly. The first arm comprises a main cam interface end, a body comprising a shaft port configured to pivot on a rocker shaft, and a valve end configured to lift and lower when the main cam interface end is acted on by a cam lobe. The second arm is overlaid on the first arm. The second arm comprises a secondary cam interface end, a latch lip end, and a shell connecting the latch lip end and the secondary cam interface end. The shell is configured to pivot relative to the first arm. The latch assembly is mounted to the body. The latch assembly is configured to selectively latch and unlatch the first arm with respect to the second arm.
