Zusammenfassung: | An internal combustion engine includes a housing; a camshaft rotatably carried by the housing and having a plurality of cams; a rocker arm shaft rotatably carried by the housing and rotatably driven by the camshaft; and a plurality of rocker arms rotatably carried by the rocker arm shaft, with each rocker arm being associated with a respective cam. The rocker arm shaft and camshaft each include a gear these two gears enmeshing with each other. Rotating the camshaft in turn rotatably drives the rocker arm shaft within the rocker arms. |
