A braking system for an internal combustion engine having a gas compressing combustion engine piston reciprocally mounted within an engine cylinder from which gas may be exhausted by opening an exhaust valve by means of a slave hydraulic piston. There is associated with said slave piston biasing means which includes: (1) a base support attached to housing for said biasing means, (2) a lash compensating element in said housing positioned between said base support and one portion of said slave piston, said lash compensating element having a portion thereof extending through said slave piston, (3) adjusting means protruding from and extending through said housing for adjusting the position of said lash compensating element, (4) a first biasing element extending between said lash compensating element and one portion of said slave piston for imparting a biasing force to said slave piston which tends to move said force applying surface from said brake ready position to said retracted position, and (5) a second biasing element extending between said base support and said lash compensating element for imparting to said slave piston a biasing force.

In a braking system for an internal combustion engine having a gas compressing combustion engine piston reciprocally mounted within an engine cylinder from which gas may be exhausted by opening an exhaust valve by means of a slave hydraulic piston, the improvement which consists in associating with said slave piston biasing means which includes: (1) a base support attached to housing for said biasing means, (2) a lash compensating element in said housing positioned between said base support and one portion of said slave piston, said lash compensating element having a portion thereof extending through said slave piston, (3) adjusting means protruding from and extending through said housing for adjusting the position of said lash compensating element, (4) a first biasing element extending between said lash compensating element and one portion of said slave piston for imparting a biasing force to said slave piston which tends to move said force applying surface from said brake ready position to said retracted position, and (5) a second biasing element extending between said base support and said lash compensating element for imparting to said slave piston a biasing force.
