Abstract:
Provided is a lubricant feed mechanism for an engine capable of achieving manufacturing cost reduction. A lubricant feed mechanism for an engine (1) is configured to feed lubricant through a cylinder head (10), a camshaft (an intake-side camshaft (40); an exhaust-side camshaft (42)), a cam cap (50), and an oil feed member (100) to a cam (a cam (40a); a cam (42a)) of a valve gear (30). The oil feed member (100) is formed by folding one panel member, and the inside surface of the oil feed member (100) in the folded state is recessed so as to form an oil passage (a first oil passage (114); a second oil passage (116); a third oil passage (118)) for guiding lubricant fed through the cam cap (50) to the cam.
