            I don't think I saw:

            BOV = Blow-off Valve
            BPV = Bypass Valve

                              Hydraulic Lash Adjuster - They use oil pressure from the engine oil system to pump up and adjust the amount of lash (Gap between cam lobe bottom and lash adjuster) It serves several purposes. For one it keeps your valves from slamming shut and damaging the valve seats from the repeated abuse. For two -since it uses oil pressure to pump up it acts as a variable valve lift/duration actuator. At higher oil pressure from increased RPMs they pump up a little quicker and modify the overlap duration between exhaust and intake.
