Abstract
A valvetrain for an engine includes a pair of valves that are disposed in a spaced apart relation to one another, and in which each of the valves has an elongated valve stem. The valvetrain further includes a valve bridge that is coupled to the pair of valves. The valve bridge is configured to define a pair of receptacles to at least partly receive the pair of valve stems therein. The valve bridge further defines a central recess that is located midway between the pair of receptacles and disposed in a co-planar relationship with the pair of receptacles.
