ABSTRACT:
A finger follower rocker arm system for an internal combustion engine includes a body having a first end engagable with a valve stem of the internal combustion engine and a second end engagable with a pivot fulcrum of the internal combustion engine, an arm mounted on the body between the first end and second end engagable with a cam lobe of the internal combustion engine, a latch pin disposed within the body and being moveable to engage and disengage the arm, and an actuating mechanism to engage the latch to limit movement of the arm relative to the body to transmit movement of the cam lobe to the body for activating the valve stem and to disengage the latch to allow movement of the arm relative to the body to allow lost motion of the cam lobe relative to the body for de-activating the valve stem.
