Abstract
A valve actuation system comprises a first motion transfer mechanism operatively connected to a first valve actuation motion source providing at least main valve actuations to at least one intake engine valve. A second motion transfer mechanism is operatively connected to a second valve actuation motion source providing at least an LIVC and IEGR valve actuations. When a selectable coupling mechanism is operated in a first state, the main valve actuation is conveyed to the at least one intake engine valve via the first motion transfer mechanism. When the selectable coupling mechanism is operated in a second state, at least a portion of the main valve actuation is again conveyed to the at least one intake engine valve, and the LIVC and IEGR valve actuations are conveyed to the at least one intake engine valve via the second motion transfer mechanism, the coupling mechanism and the first motion transfer mechanism.
