Abstract
Disclosed is an overhead rocker cam valve operating device for an internal combustion engine which is particularly useful for race cars or high performance automobiles. The device includes a rocker cam and connecting link, the link being adjustable within the rocker cam arm to provide for more of less power. Hence, the connecting link can be positioned closest to the cam lobe to provide for more power, performance and speed, or can be positioned farther from the cam lobe to provide for less power and fuel economy. The device can be made remotely adjustable by providing means engageable with the connecting link, such as a solenoid, whereby the link can be remotely positioned within the rocker cam arm.
