ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engines includes a cylinder carrier with a deck surface, and a crankshaft and a camshaft mounted within the cylinder carrier. A number of valve lifter sleeves are mounted in a depending orientation within bores formed in the deck surface. The lifter sleeves are maintained in contact with the cylinder carrier by cylinder assemblies superimposed upon the sleeves and the cylinder carrier's deck. Valve lifters housed within the lifter sleeves conduct both high-pressure oil running through push rods to an upper portion of the engine cylinder, and low-pressure oil exiting the cylinder. The lifters conduct the low pressure oil to the camshaft's lobes for lubrication purposes.
