Abstract: The disclosed fluid filter screen assembly includes a filter body with an embedded filter screen, the filter screen being disposed in a fluid flow path between flow inlet and flow outlet openings in the filter body. A magnet effectively in contact with the filter screen increases the capacity of the filter assembly to separate particles from the fluid flow path.

Abstract: A lead frame has slots therein for bayonet type connection to electrical terminals provided on a solenoid valve or group of valves. Projections on the lead frame are disposed between the slots and upon bayonet connection to the terminals closely interfit a web disposed between the terminals on the solenoid. Preferably, support stanchions are provided for the terminals and may be integrally molded with the web.

Abstract: An electro-hydraulic manifold assembly for deactivation of the valves of one bank of cylinders in a V-10 engine. One solenoid valve controls flow of oil to the hydraulic valve lifter/lash adjuster of a single or first cylinder, a second valve controls flow of oil to the lifters/lash adjusters of cylinders two and five and a third valve controls oil flow to the lifters/lash adjusters for cylinders two and three by taking advantage of the common base circle position of the cams for the paired cylinders.

Abstract: A Lifter Oil Manifold Assembly or LOMA has a metal deckplate with a non-metallic valve mount/stiffener having elastomeric seals on the surface contacting the deckplate. The electrically operated valves for controlling flow to individual valve lifters are mounted on bosses formed on the valve mount/stiffener. A bracket retains the valves on the valve mount/stiffener and the valve mount/stiffener on the deckplate when assembled on the engine by through bolts.

Abstract: A sub-fractional Horsepower motor, intended for use with a worm on its output shaft, is positioned adjacent a servo actuator housing with the motor shaft disposed adjacent to and oriented generally parallel to the housing. The housing is provided with a resiliently deflectable rear motor mounting stanchion having a camming surface and a front motor mounting stanchion, both preferably formed integrally as a one-piece member with the housing. Upon assembly into the housing, the motor is maintained in its parallel orientation and moved in a single direction normal to the shaft to contact the camming surfaces, on the rear stanchion and deflects and snap-locks into the stanchion and the rear stanchion biases the motor axially such that the opposite shaft end of the motor registers against one surface of the front stanchion.
