Zusammenfassung:Systems and related methods include a rocker arm having integrated components, including a lost motion actuator piston and components for resetting the lost motion actuator piston to provide normal valve closing or late valve closing. Selective reset is facilitated by a reset piston and a blocking piston disposed in a hydraulic circuit including a reset passage. In a non-resetting mode of operation, the blocking piston may block oil flow within the reset passage, regardless of the position of the reset piston, which facilitates late valve closing. An alternative embodiment includes a blocking sleeve disposed concentrically relative to the reset piston.
