A camshaft system includes a number of cam lobes locked upon a cylindrical shaft. Bearings configured with one-piece bores and are engaged with the cylindrical shaft. The bearings are captured upon the shaft by the locked-on cam lobes.

Valve operating camshaft system for internal combustion engine

A combination dynamic balancer and fuel pump for an internal combustion engine includes a common housing having at least one balancer shaft and a fuel pump, with the fuel pump having the pumping element mounted directly within a working chamber formed within the housing for the balancer shaft and fuel pump. A pumping element may include a reciprocating or a rotary pumping element.

Fuel pump for internal combustion engine

A gasket assembly for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head gasket and an exhaust manifold gasket. The cylinder head gasket and the exhaust manifold gasket have a common layer of gasket material. The gasket assembly is formed by stamping a cylinder head gasket portion for the engine in one region of a common layer of gasket material concurrently with stamping an exhaust gasket portion for the engine in an adjacent region of the common layer of material.

Integrated exhaust manifold and cylinder head gasket

An intake manifold for an internal combustion engine is provided which has an intake venturi passage for throttled passage of filtered air into a plenum . A crankcase ventilation passage is provided having a first end intersecting with the venturi passage and a second end intersecting with an outer boundary of the manifold. A heat pipe is adjacent a major portion of the crankcase ventilation passage between the first and second ends for transfer of thermal energy to prevent freeze up in the crankcase ventilation passage

Intake manifold with a heated PCV passage

An intake system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine includes a manifold having inlet runners for conducting charge air into the cylinders of an engine, and at least one secondary throttle valve situated within at least one of the inlet runners. An electrically driven motor positions the secondary throttle valve, with the motor being operated by a controller, which senses engine operating parameters including the temperature of an electrically driven motor which powers the secondary throttle valve.

Variable geometry intake system for an internal combustion engine

A temperature sensing system for an internal combustion engine includes a heat transfer element communicating with both the engine coolant passage in the cylinder head and the cylinder head itself. A temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of the heat transfer element. During normal engine operating conditions, the system records engine coolant temperature. During a loss of coolant, the system records cylinder head temperature.
