Abstract: A valve seat insert includes a top convex arcuate blend for improving fluid flow, and a valve seating surface for slowing down valve recession. The valve seating surface includes a radially outer convex arcuate segment defining an outer radius of curvature forming a first wear crown for contacting the valve at an early wear state, a radially inner convex arcuate segment defining an inner radius of curvature forming a second wear crown for contacting the valve at a later wear state, and a linear segment extending between the radially outer convex arcuate segment and the radially inner convex arcuate segment.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a valve seat insert within an engine housing, and a gas exchange valve. The valve seat insert has a compound valve seat with a valve recession-resistive profile formed by a leading radius contacted by the valve seat at an early wear state of the valve head and valve seat insert, a trailing radius contacted by the valve head at a later wear state of the valve head and valve seat insert, and an outer seat face. The compound valve seat is shaped and proportioned to cushion contact by a gas exchange valve and retard valve recession.

Abstract: A bridge assembly is disclosed for use with an internal combustion engine. The bridge assembly may have a valve bridge, a cylindrical housing disposed within the valve bridge, and a plunger disposed in the cylindrical housing and protruding from the valve bridge. The bridge assembly may also have a valve housing, a post located inside the valve housing, a plurality of obliquely angled ports passing through a straight annular wall portion of the valve housing, and a plurality of radially oriented ports passing through a tapered annular wall portion of the housing. The bridge assembly may further have a valve seat disposed at least partially inside the plunger, a ball disposed within the valve housing and movable between a distal end of the post and the valve seat, a first spring disposed over the post, and a second spring disposed within the cylindrical housing.
