-16- ABSTRACT An engine braking system of a gas compression relief type is provided to control the timing of the sys- tem which includes a hydro-mechanical mechanism which opens the exhaust valve near the top of the compression stroke of the engine so that the energy absorbed by the engine during the compression stroke is not returned to the engine during the expansion stroke. In accordance with the invention, hydro-mechanical means are provided in the exhaust valve actuating mechanism to reduce the clearance in that mechanism to a value which maximizes the retarding power developed by the engine whenever the engine brake is activated.
