  • Piston crown to raise compression ratio
    Patent number: 9845766
    Abstract: A piston includes a crown having a deck, a spark recess, an exhaust valve recess, and an intake valve recess. The piston also includes a wedge disposed on the crown extending from the exhaust valve recess and the intake valve recess toward the spark recess above the deck. The wedge is a planar wedge disposed at an angle substantially parallel to an associated exhaust valve received by the exhaust valve recess. The crown is symmetrical about a piston center line.
    Type: Grant

  • Variable displacement engine having selectively engageable rocker arm with positioning device
    Patent number: 7913656
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively activating and deactivating gas exchange valves in a variable displacement internal combustion engine include a rocker arm having a positioning device that opposes movement of a lash adjustment device while deactivated to position a coupling hole of the rocker arm within a desired coupling range to facilitate coupling of the rocker arm during subsequent activation of an associated engine cylinder.
