Abstract: An engine having a variable valve timing device may include a camshaft having a cam that lifts a valve, a valve body with one side fixed with the camshaft and the other side fixed with a fixed housing, variable wings protruding on an outer circumferential surface of the fixed housing, a sprocket housing forming a delay chamber and an advance chamber with the variable wings and having a sprocket on an outer circumferential surface, a control spool disposed coaxially with the camshaft and inserted in the valve body to selectively supply hydraulic pressure from an outside to the delay chamber or the advance chamber, and an actuator fastened to an outer end of the control spool, with a side fixed to a side of the engine, and advancing or delaying the sprocket housing with respect to the valve body by adjusting the hydraulic pressure supplied to the advance chamber or the delay chamber through the control spool by pulling or pushing the control spool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a timing chain system including a hydraulic pressure timing chain tensioner autonomously controlling a hydraulic pressure for maintaining tension of a timing chain to effectively operate. The system may include: a crankshaft sprocket; a camshaft sprocket controlling exhaust or intake timing of the engine; a timing chain operably connecting the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets; a chain guide for the timing chain; a chain tensioner pushing the chain guide inward; and an oil supply unit for the chain tensioner. The chain tensioner may include a housing, an operating unit case fixed to the housing, a reciprocating plunger inserted into the operating unit case, a high pressure chamber, a low pressure chamber, a supply hydraulic path supplying oil from the oil supply unit to the low pressure chamber, and a regulator controlling hydraulic pressure of the low pressure chamber.

Abstract: A continuously variable valve lift (CVVL) apparatus may include a control shaft that is disposed in parallel with a camshaft and is rotatably disposed on a journal that is disposed on a cam carrier, a CVVL device that is disposed on the control shaft, a journal bearing that is disposed on the journal such that the control shaft rotates on the journal bearing, and a washer that is disposed on the control shaft across the journal bearing. An engine comprising a CVVL apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A lift of a valve of an engine may continuously be varied by an apparatus that includes: an input cam provided on an input shaft; a pivot shaft provided in parallel with the input shaft; a lever that rotates around the pivot shaft by a rotation of the input cam and operates the valve; and a lift varying device capable of varying a relative distance between the pivot shaft and the input shaft.

Abstract: A variable valve lift apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an inner body contacting an input cam, an outer body connected with a valve, a lost motion spring disposed between the inner body and the outer body for supplying restoring force to the inner body, a return pin assembly supplying connecting force to the inner body and the outer body, and an operating portion selectively disconnecting the inner body from the outer body.

Abstract: A variable valve lift follower for a vehicle includes an outer body receiving a rotational force from a high lift cam; an inner body with a first end portion hinge-connected with the outer body, receiving a rotational force from a low lift cam; a hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA) contact portion for supplying oil to the first end portion of the inner body; a valve contact portion on a second end of the inner body; and a knock pin on the top of the valve contact portion, connecting the outer body to the inner body during high lift.

Abstract: An oil supply passage of a cylinder head increases design freedom of cylinder heads. The oil filter variously sets the oil supplying position through which oil enters into an oil filter. This improves fuel consumption by simplifying the oil supply passage of the cylinder head, reduces power loss of an oil pump, and decreases the size and weight of the cylinder head.

Abstract: A lubrication system for the timing chains of a V-type engine includes an oil supply means supplied by a single oil supply source. The oil supply means receives oil from a single spouting hole of a single main oil gallery and simultaneously supplies the oil to two timing chains, one of the left bank and the other of the right bank. Thereby the bulk of the cylinder block is reduced and the design and layout of the peripheral elements of the cylinders is simplified.
