(4) Due to the construction of the roller rocker arm, the valve train driving torque is reduced to about half that of the conventional slipper type, which is equivalent to, or compares favorably with, the 2-valve SOHC slipper type. All these factors contribute to enhanced engine performa and fuel economy. , LASH ADJUSTER The hydraulic lash adjuster is of the end pivot type. It eliminates the need for adjustment of the valve clearance. There are four lash adjusters provided for each cylinder, 16 in all.
