The valve bridge is operably associated with the rocker assembly and configured to engage a first exhaust valve and a second exhaust valve. The valve bridge includes an internal chamber extending into the valve bridge from a bottom side of the valve bridge. The guidepost is at least partially disposed within the internal chamber. The guidepost is secured to a valvetrain carrier and extends upwards to the valve bridge. The valve bridge is configured to translate along the guidepost. The spring is disposed around the guidepost. A first end of the spring is disposed on a top surface of the valvetrain carrier, and a second end of the spring is disposed against the bottom side of the valve bridge.
