Abstract
A rocker arm assembly includes a rocker arm body having opposing side walls which are connected by a bottom wall having separate first and second portions. The first portion is configured to engage a push rod and the second portion is configured to engage a valve stem. The side walls and the first and second portions of the bottom wall cooperate to form an aperture having first and second edges. A bridge is configured for snap-fit cooperation with the first and second edges, respectively. The bridge includes upstanding lips which cooperate with the opposing side walls to form first and second oil-transporting channels for transporting oil from the first portion of the bottom wall to the second portion for lubricating the rocker arm body at the point of engagement with the valve stem as the rocker arm body rocks back and forth.
