Publication number: 20210095614Abstract: An apparatus includes a valve and an actuator. The valve has a portion movably disposed within a valve pocket defined by a cylinder head of an engine. The valve is configured to move relative to the cylinder head a distance between a closed position and an opened position. The portion of the valve defines a flow opening that is in fluid communication with a cylinder of an engine when the valve is in the opened position. The actuator is configured to selectively vary the distance between the closed position and the opened position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: JP Scope, Inc.Inventors: Charles PRICE, Jay MCFARLANE, Stephen John CHARLTON, William ANDERSON, David EVANS, Guy Robert BABBITT, Christopher Wayne TURNER, Daniel S.

Patent number: 8899205Abstract: A method includes coupling a cylinder head to a cylinder block. A valve member is then moved into a valve pocket defined by the cylinder head such that a first stem portion of the valve member engages an actuator. A first portion of the biasing member is then disposed against a second stem portion of the valve member, the second stem portion being opposite the first stem portion. An end plate is then coupled to the cylinder head such that a second portion of the biasing member engages the end plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: JP Scope, Inc.Inventor: Charles E.
