Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004081349A2] A valve train with a hydraulic lifter in an engine, and a method of configuring a hydraulic lifter of an engine, are disclosed. The valve train includes a valve, a cam, and at least one coupling component. The valve train further includes the hydraulic lifter, which has a nominal length and is coupled at least indirectly between the valve and the cam by way of the at least one coupling component. The valve train additionally includes a mechanism for varying the nominal length of the hydraulic lifter so that the nominal length is substantially closer to a minimum length of the hydraulic lifter than to a maximum length of the hydraulic lifter.
