Zusammenfassung:A rocker assembly including a rocker shaft having an outer surface, main oil passage, a first radial passage and a second radial and a rocker arm having a first end and an inner cylindrical surface defining a bore, wherein the rocker shaft is received in the bore to pivotably mount the rocker arm onto the rocker shaft. The rocker arm includes a hydraulic lash adjuster mounted within the first end and a first oil passage having an inlet at the inner cylindrical surface and an outlet in fluid communication with the hydraulic lash adjuster. The inner cylindrical surface is spaced apart from the outer surface of the rocker shaft by a radial clearance, and wherein an inlet to the first oil passage and a first outlet of the first radial passage are in a loaded region of the radial clearance.
