Abstract: A finger lever (1) is configured for the simultaneous loading of three identically operating gas exchange valves. To simplify the manufacture of a hydraulic medium supply of its hydraulic clearance compensation elements (4) resting on valve stem ends and to prevent unnecessary losses of hydraulic medium, the invention proposes the arrangement of only one central passage (12) in the finger lever (1) for supplying all the clearance compensation elements (4). This passage (12) extends near a central transverse plane of the finger lever (1) and opens into a cross-passage (10) in the form of a through-bore to the individual clearance compensation elements (4).

Abstract: A rocker arm (1) or finger lever for a valve drive of an internal combustion engine is provided in which a guide bushing (7) is press-fit in a receptacle hole (2). The guide bushing (7) has a bore (9) in which an outer part (4) of a hydraulic play compensation component (3) is guided in a sliding manner. The guide bushing (7) has a radially inwardly directed projection (10) which holds a shoulder formed by a diameter reduction of the outer part (4) from behind or meshes in a groove of the outer part (4). This arrangement allows the hydraulic play compensation component (3) to be secured from loss using the press-fit guide bushing (7).
