An internal combustion engine cylinder head camshaft bearing ladder, is provided which includes a first body with an aperture to facilitate threaded connectionof the body to a cylinder headwith a cut outfor receiving a cam shaft, the first body also having a pocket, and a solenoid actuatorpositioned within the pocketfor activating a switchable rocker arm assembly

Integrated solenoid board and cam ladder

Method of rapidly making casting, comprising: designing a computer graphic model of the casting; sectioning the graphic model into graphic members which are at least one of blocks and slabs; carving a solid member for each of the graphic members, the solid members being (i) constituted of a meltable or evaporative solid material (i.e. wax or polystyrene), (ii) proportional to and enveloping its corresponding graphic member, and the carving being carried out by accessing two or more sides of each solid member to at least essentially duplicate the corresponding graphic member; forming a mold around the pattern, and casting metal within the mold while removing the pattern from such mold either by evaporation during pouring of the molten metal thereinto or by melting prior thereto.

A fuel supply rail assembly (,) includes a plurality of fuel injector-receiving housings (,) for mounting on a cylinder head (,) of an internal combustion engine and a plurality of fuel injector load springs (,) with each spring disposed in each fuel rail housing (,) in a manner to bias a fuel injector received therein within a preselected injector load tolerance range relative to the cylinder head (,).

Fuel supply rail with integrated fuel injector load spring

A vibration absorption assembly,and method for making the same having a base portion,which is movably connected to an intermediate portion,and to a top portion or cover,. Assembly,contains several apertures or cavities,which operatively contain a pair of balls or spherical members,which absorb or dampen the vibrations emanating from a rotating member, such as a diesel fuel injection pump,. Oil,is communicated into apertures,and is effective to lubricate the moving members,. Further, portion or member,is selectively movable to allow access to several of the cavities or apertures,in order to allow fuel injection pump,to be removed from the engine,by use of fasteners,, and

Virbration absorption assembly

Method of rapidly producing a contoured part, comprising: designing a computer graphic model of the part, sectioning the graphic model into graphic members which are at least one of blocks or slabs, carving a solid member (14-150 mm in thickness) for each of the graphic members, the solid member being proportion to and enveloping such graphic members, the carving being carried out by accessing two or more sides (opposite sides) of such solid member to at least essentially duplicate the corresponding graphic member, and securing the carved solid members together to replicate the graphic model as a usable unitary part. The method can be modified to make castings by carving wax or foam solid members which are assembled to form an investment pattern, the was pattern being used in a shell mold casting steps and the foam pattern being used in evaporative casting steps.
