Abstract
An engine includes an engine body. A camshaft shaft is journaled for rotation within the engine body. A rocker arm shaft also is disposed within the engine body. Intake and exhaust rocker arms are pivotally mounted on the rocker arm shaft. The intake rocker arm is associated with an intake valve. The exhaust rocker arm is associated with an exhaust valve. The camshaft actuates the intake and exhaust valves through the intake and exhaust rocker arms, respectively. The rocker arms are axially moveable along an axis of the rocker arm shaft. A stopper is disposed on the rocker arm shaft to stop the axial movement of the rocker arms in one direction. A spring member is mounted on the rocker arm shaft opposite to the stopper to urge the rocker arms toward the stopper. A block member blocks the axial movement of the rocker arms toward the biasing member.
