🔍 Key Concepts

• Valve train components in a diesel engine: camshaft, lifters/tappets, push rods, rocker arms, valves • How distance and alignment between camshaft and valve gear affect the need for intermediate parts • The basic function of a push rod in transmitting motion in an overhead valve (OHV) system

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in which choice is there a clear need to carry motion from one place to another in the engine, rather than just change direction or timing? • Which option describes a situation where the camshaft cannot act directly on the rocker arm or valve because of its physical location? • Consider which items listed (rocker arm pivot point, multiple valves, hydraulic lash adjusters) can be handled without needing a long mechanical link like a push rod.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option explicitly involves separation in space between the camshaft and the valve gear • Confirm the primary purpose of a push rod: does it mainly solve a distance problem, a timing problem, or a clearance (lash) problem? • Eliminate any choices that describe features that can exist with or without push rods, rather than situations that actually make push rods necessary.
