    Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a reduced size while securing a sufficient amount of lubricating oil for rocker shafts in the internal combustion engine. A cam holder formed in a cylinder head extends from a rear wall portion of the cylinder head toward the attachment hole, and an intake-side downstream rocker shaft oil supply passage formed in a cross shape by causing two linear portions to intersect each other is formed inside the cam holder. In the intake-side downstream rocker shaft oil supply passage, one of the linear portions communicates with a left intake-side support hole located on a left side and configured to support a left intake-side rocker shaft, while the other one of the linear portions communicates with a right intake-side support hole located on a right side and configured to support a right intake-side rocker shaft.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head, a crankshaft, intake and exhaust camshafts, first and second chain covers, a chain, and a fastening bolt. The first chain cover having a cutout includes a first flange positioned at a specific edge portion of the cutout, which is positioned between the crankshaft and the camshafts, and a first boss through which a shaft portion of the fastening bolt is passed. The cylinder head includes a second flange, and a second boss into which the shaft portion is inserted, and which is disposed coaxially with the first boss. The liquid gasket is held between the second flange and the first flange. A groove is provided in at least one of a position between the first flange and the first boss of the first chain cover and a position between the second flange and the second boss of the cylinder head.

    Abstract: A camshaft-drive tensioner system is disclosed for an internal combustion engine having a camshaft-drive element. The camshaft-drive tensioner system includes a tensioner configured to be energized by a pressurized fluid in order to apply a force to the camshaft-drive element. The camshaft-drive tensioner system also includes a fluid pump configured to supply the pressurized fluid. The camshaft-drive tensioner system additionally includes a controller configured to regulate either volume or pressure of the fluid supplied to the tensioner by the fluid pump to thereby selectively vary the force applied to the camshaft-drive element. An internal combustion engine having such a camshaft-drive tensioner system and a method of selectively varying a force applied to the camshaft-drive element are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for installing a camshaft retrofitting kit into an internal combustion engine with a plurality of hemispherical combustion chambers in order to provide increased power. A variable camshaft timing (VCT) assembly and a plurality of displacement-on-demand (DOD) control solenoids are replaced with a VCT plug and a plurality of DOD plugs respectively. A performance camshaft is installed in place of a stock camshaft, and a performance camshaft drive assembly is installed in place of a stock camshaft drive assembly. A cam adapter may also be provided in order to extend the length and diameter of the performance camshaft. Additionally, a plurality of springs from a plurality of cam followers is replaced with a plurality of spacers.

    Abstract: A forward phase of a forward intermediate rotor is adjusted relative to a crank shaft. A forward stopper mechanism prevents further advance of the forward phase by engaging the forward intermediate rotor at a forward most-advanced phase. A forward locking mechanism locks the forward phase when reaching the forward most-advanced phase at a start time of the engine. A forward biasing member biases the forward intermediate rotor in an advance direction. The backward phase of the intake cam shaft is adjusted relative to a backward intermediate rotor by receiving a cam torque that is biased on average in a retard direction. A backward stopper mechanism prevents further retard of the backward phase by engaging the intake cam shaft at a backward most-retarded phase. A backward locking mechanism locks the backward phase when reaching the backward most-retarded phase at the start time of the engine.
