Abstract
A tubular roller valve for an internal combustion engine, which includes a hollow tube having at least one hole, the at least one hole being configured to access an air inlet or an exhaust of a cylinder in an engine block, a tubular outer insulator outside of the hollow tube, the outer insulator being fixed to a cylinder head, and a tubular inner insulator inside of the hollow tube. An additional tube between the hollow tube and the outer insulator can serve to operate as a compression release brake.
