ABSTRACT:
In a compression release engine brake, the starting point for the forward stroke of the slave piston is automatically adjusted when the engine brake is turned on, e.g., to remove the clearance which is typically provided between the slave piston and the associated internal combustion engine exhaust valve mechanism. Two elements in the engine brake move apart during the first forward stroke of the slave piston. Hydraulic fluid enters a chamber formed between these two members and is tarpped there when the returning slave piston closes the aperture through which the fluid entered that chamber. The return strokes of the slave piston are thus foreshortened. The closing of the above-mentioned aperture by the slave piston constitutes the sole means by which hydraulic fluid is trapped in the chamber. No other check valve element is required.
