Each of the multiple valve bodies are provided at corresponding one of the multiple ports and configured to be selectively movable between open and closed positions in response to the cam profile. Any of the multiple ports have its respective valve body in the open position that is in fluid communication with the cavity, and any of the multiple ports have its respective valve body in the closed position that is fluidly blocked from the cavity.
