Zusammenfassung:A variable displacement internal combustion engine having a cylinder block and a cylinder head attached thereto. The variable displacement internal combustion engine includes at least one switching hydraulic lash adjuster. A lash adjuster oil feed passage is at least partially defined by one of the cylinder block and the cylinder head. The lash adjuster oil feed passage is operable to communicate pressurized oil to the at least one switching hydraulic lash adjuster. A distributed accumulator is disposed within the lash adjuster oil feed passage and operates to attenuate oil pressure spikes within the lash adjuster oil feed passage. The variable displacement internal combustion engine also includes a solenoid-actuated hydraulic control valve to control the trigger of the at least one switching hydraulic lash adjuster, wherein a control passage transmits the pressurized oil to the solenoid-actuated hydraulic control valve.
