ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic lash adjuster of the type including a ball plunger (61) defining a passage (63), or a body portion (85) defining a passage (87). A metering valve is disposed in the passage, and in accordance with the invention (FIGS. 2-4), a shank portion (77) of the metering pin (73) defines a metering passage (81). During normal operation, pressure in the low pressure chamber (21) biases the metering pin (73) upward, to a position in which fluid can flow from the chamber (21), through the metering passage (81), to the external surface (71) of the ball plunger (61). When pressure in the chamber (21) is very low, or negative, a head portion (75) is disposed against a seat (69) in the manner of a check valve. The up and down movement of the pin (73) prevents the metering passage (81) from becoming plugged with contaminants.
