A camshaft assembly for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle and method of operating the camshaft assembly to enhance engine braking performance through selective activation of a cam lobe having a brake gas recirculation contour. The camshaft assembly comprises an exhaust camshaft and a lobe pack on the exhaust camshaft, with the lobe pack including a plurality of cam lobes. At least one cam lobe of the plurality of cam lobes includes a brake gas recirculation cam contour having an exhaust stroke projection and a combustion stroke projection. The method switches to the cam lobe including the brake gas recirculation profile when certain criteria indicate that an engine braking mode is to be activated.

An electric machine assembly includes a rotor assembly that includes a plurality of rotor parts including a reference rotor part and a first control rotor part. Each rotor part is rotatable about a longitudinal axis and mechanically separated from another rotor part along the longitudinal axis. The first control rotor part is controllable to rotate while aligned with the reference rotor part with a zero or near zero skew angle relative to the reference rotor part. The first control rotor part is also controllable to rotate while unaligned with the reference rotor part with a non-zero skew angle relative to the reference rotor part. The electric machine assembly further includes a rotor controller that is configured to control the degree of skew angle between the control rotor part and the reference rotor part.

A cylinder head assembly includes a first member coupled to an engine block and a second member coupled to the first member. The first member defines a first port in communication with a first cylinder and a second port in communication with a second cylinder. The second member defines a longitudinally extending portion located on a first lateral half of the first member. A first control passage and a second control passage are defined between the first member and the longitudinally extending portion of the second member. The second member defines a wall separating the first and second control passages from one another.
