Abstract
An exhaust valve rocker arm assembly selectively operable in an engine braking mode includes a rocker arm and a valve end configured to selectively act on a valve bridge to engage a first and a second exhaust valve. The valve end includes a brake capsule to selectively extend in a first position to act on the first exhaust valve through the valve bridge. The valve end also includes a lost motion mechanism capable of selectively transmitting motion of the rocker arm to the valve bridge. The lost motion mechanism may integrate a hydraulic lash adjuster in particular embodiments.
