Embodiment Construction
[0041] Especially at low engine speeds, heavy-duty (HD) diesel engines require high braking power. Some HD diesel engines are configured with valve trains with valve bridges, and include single overhead cam (SOHC) and overhead valve (OHV) valve trains. The present disclosure provides high braking power without imposing high loads on the rest of the valve train, especially the pushrods and camshafts. In this regard, the present disclosure provides a configuration in which only one exhaust valve is opened during a braking event.
[0042] first reference figure 1 , shows a partial valve train assembly constructed in accordance with one example of the present disclosure and is generally identified as element numeral 10 . The partial valve train assembly 10 utilizes engine braking and is shown configured for use in a six cylinder engine. It should be understood, however, that the present teachings are not so limited. In this regard, the present disclosure may be used in any val...
