Abstract: An internal combustion engine having an oil drainback passage and integral check valve. The oil drainback passage allows the flow of oil from the valve box to the crankcase of the engine during normal operation and prevents the backwards flow of oil from the crankcase to the valve box when high pressures exist in the crankcase or if the engine is operated at elevated angles. The oil drainback passage is formed by a bore through a cylinder wall of the crankcase and a bore through the cylinder head. The check valve includes a cavity within the cylinder wall of the crankcase, located at the end of the bore in the cylinder wall where it meets the bore in the cylinder head, and a check ball disposed within the cavity. During normal operation, the check ball floats within the cavity and allows the flow of oil through the oil drainback passage back to the crankcase. If high crankcase pressures exist, or if the engine is operated at an elevated angle, the check ball will seat against the end of the bore in the cylinder head and prevent the backward flow of oil through the drainback passage to the valve box.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing lubricant to a plurality of hydraulic lifters in an internal combustion engine is disclosed, in which the amount of gas bubbles present in the lubricant provided to the lifters is reduced or eliminated so that lifter noise is reduced or prevented. The apparatus, which is part of an internal combustion engine that includes valve trains with hydraulic lifters that are positioned proximate the crankcase and one another, includes a lifter feed gallery that receives lubricant from a feed passage, and communicates the lubricant to lifter feed holes. The lifter feed holes in turn communicate the lubricant to the respective hydraulic lifters. At or near the top of the lifter feed gallery proximate where the feed passage is coupled to the gallery is a single bleed orifice, which diverts gas bubbles away from the gallery and into the crankcase.

Abstract: A switching element (1) for a valve drive of an internal combustion engine is provided, preferably for deactivating a valve. The switching element has an outer section (2), in addition to an inner element (4) that can be axially displaced in a bore (3) of the outer section. The outer section (2) and the inner element (4) are displaced away from one another by action of lost-motion spring elements (5) and can be coupled together in an axially-distant relative position, whereby at least one piston (6), which is situated in a bore (7) that runs transversally through the inner element (4), acts as a coupling element. An annular groove (8), into which the piston (6) can be partially displaced to adopt its coupling position, is located in the bore (3) of the outer section (2). At least some sections of an underside (9) of the piston (6) have a flat transversal surface (11), which leads from a outer radial end face (10) of the piston and acts as a contact zone for an opposing annular surface (12) of the annular groove (8), and the piston is held in the inner element (4) by a rotational lock (13). Stop elements (15) are allocated to an inner radial end face (14) of the piston (6) for an uncoupling position of the piston, and the rotational lock (13) and the stop elements (15) are formed from one component.

Abstract: A valve deactivation lifter including means for restricting relative rotation between the pin housing and the lifter body. When used in a V-style or slant engine, a prior art deactivation lifter can be subject to oil drainage during engine shutdown if the oil supply port in the pin housing rests in the “down” position. In an improved lifter, relative rotation between the pin housing and the lifter body is limited and the pin housing is oriented such that the oil supply port is never on the underside of the pin housing. Rotation may be limited by any of several means, for example, a ball disposed in a dimple in the pin housing and extending into a longitudinal groove in the lifter body, and a flat on the pin housing and locking means installed in the lifter body to engage the flat and thus prevent rotation of the pin housing.
