Abstract: A rocker arm system for an internal combustion engine valvetrain includes a base member, a first rocker arm, a second rocker arm, and a saddle. The base member includes a first tower having a first tower recess, a second tower having a plurality of saddle mounting holes, a third tower having a third tower recess, a first rocker gap between the first tower and the second tower, and a second rocker gap between the second tower and the third tower. Each rocker arm includes an arm with a shaft extending through a shaft hole in the arm. A first tower recess central axis and a third tower recess central axis form a first angle having a measurement in a range of between 0° and 25°. The saddle is configured to connect to the second tower by passing a plurality of fasteners through plurality of corresponding saddle through holes in the saddle and into a plurality of corresponding saddle mounting holes in the second tower.

Abstract: An oil distribution system for an internal combustion engine valvetrain includes a rocker arm base member and a base plate. The rocker arm base member includes a distribution slot disposed into a base lower surface, a plurality of receiving holes extending from a sidewall and/or from the base upper surface of the rocker arm base member into the distribution slot, and a plurality of oil distribution holes passing from the distribution slot through the base upper surface. The base plate being configured to cover at least a portion of the base lower surface including at least a portion of the distribution slot. In operation, the distribution slot receives oil from the plurality of oil receiving holes, passes at least a first portion of the oil to the plurality of oil distribution holes, and the plurality of oil distribution holes discharge at least a second portion of the oil past a base upper surface to provide lubrication to a portion of a rocker arm or other valvetrain components.
