ABSTRACT:
A rocker arm (25) adapted to engage a pair of cam lobes (15,17), the rocker arm having first (31) and second (33) sidewall portions, and being formed from a flat sheet metal blank (25B) having a nominal thickness (T). The sidewall portions (31,33) define fold regions (51,53) whereby, after each is folded over upon itself, and the rocker arm is formed to have the sidewall portions generally parallel to each other, the fold regions provide first (41) and second (43) cam contact surfaces, each having a width (W) substantially greater than the nominal thickness of the blank.
