Abstract: A system for angular adjustment of a shaft relative to a driving gear, preferably of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, includes a hydraulically controllable angular adjustment device rotating with the shaft and having hydraulic supply ducts in a non-rotatably fitted end cap and oil distribution ducts, associated with the supply ducts, in the angular adjustment device. The end cap is provided in its inner circumferential region facing the direction of adjustment with at least one recess shaped to receive an oil distribution ring. The oil distribution ring is shaped so as to be connectable non-rotatably to the end ring and to be movable transverse to the common axial direction, and the internal diameter of the recess is greater than the external diameter of the oil distribution ring.

Abstract: A cylinder head for an automotive type engine has an overhead camshaft and oil collecting basins adjacent the tappet guides to collect excess oil exuded from the guides; the basins have holes aligned with the cams on the camshaft to drip oil thereon for proper camshaft lubrication; inserts may be used in the oil drip holes, or specially formed drip edges adjacent the holes may be used.
