ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a valve control system for a push-rod internal combustion engine. The valve control system includes a cam including a rotatable cam shaft having a first cam member and a second cam member having a different profile from the first raised portion. A reciprocating movement is transmitted by a rocker arm engaging the valve and a push-rod connected to a first cam follower in engagement with a push-rod operating a rocker arm and a second follower capable of movement relative to the first cam follower with locking device to enable the cam follower members to be linked so as to be moved together. When the cam follower members are not linked, the valve is controlled by the first cam follower in engagement with and following the profile of the raised portion and when the cam follower members are linked, the valve is controlled by the second cam follower in engagement with and following the profile of the second cam member, thus allowing the selection of one cam or another to accommodate different operating conditions of the engine.
