Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An engine compression braking system having a rocker lever and reset valve assembly to operate an engine in both normal power and braking modes while effectively controlling opening and closing of the exhaust valve for compression braking. The reset valve assembly includes a reset pin mounted in a passage of the rocker arm and movement of the reset pin in the compression mode of braking is controlled by contact of the reset pin with a support shaft which the rocker arm rotates around.
First claim
