Engine valve actuator assembly with hydraulic feedback
   
   

A valve actuator assembly for an engine includes a movable engine valve and a movable spool valve. The valve actuator assembly also includes a driving channel interconnecting the spool valve and the engine valve and a feedback channel interconnecting the spool valve and the engine valve. The valve actuator assembly includes an actuator operatively cooperating with the spool valve to position the spool valve to prevent and allow fluid flow in and out of the driving channel to position the engine valve. The valve actuator assembly further includes an on/off valve in fluid communication with the feedback channel to enable and disable the feedback channel to control motion of the spool valve.
