Abstract (en)

A valve actuating arrangement for an internal combustion engine valve train which has, for a pair of valves (34, 36 or 35, 37) a respective rocker member (31, 32, 33, 34) for each valve of the pair and a single actuating rod. Each rocker member is simultaneously movable under the action of the single actuating rod for simultaneous actuation of each valve of the pair thereof by a respective rocker member. The actuating rod may be a cam follower (22 or 24) movable longitudinally under the action of a cam profile (18 or 20) provided on a camshaft (12). Each rocker member may be mounted on a respective shaft, (38, 39, 40, 41) the shafts being inclined such that each rocker member has a shaft axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal movement of the cam follower and also substantially perpendicular to the axis of the respective valve. Typically, in a valve actuating system for a pair of inlet valves and a pair of outlet valves, the system comprises for each pair of valves a respective such valve actuating arrangement.
