ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic valve drive device for intake/exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine using an oil pump similar to a distributor type injection pump. A plunger rotates and engages in reciprocating motion to pressurize hydraulic fluid taken into a pressure chamber and opens to discharge the same into a hydraulic cylinder of a specific intake/exhaust valve in register with the passage. The intake/exhaust valve maintains its valve lift to continue remaining open when the supply of the hydraulic fluid is stopped, but closes when the plunger rotates so that the passage is communicated with a relief channel and the relief valve opens.
