Abstract
In a compression release engine brake, each slave piston has an associated mechanism for both automatically adjusting the 'lash' of the slave piston and for resetting the slave piston as soon as the slave piston has produced a compression release event and without needing to wait for the return stroke of the associated master piston. The mechanism preferably includes two nesting cups between an adjusting member and the slave piston. The inner cup is principally responsible for the lash adjusting function, while the outer cup is principally responsible for the slave piston resetting function.
