ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a four-stroke internal combustion engine (10), especially for lawnmowers, comprising at least one cylinder for a reciprocating piston which acts via a connecting rod on a crankshaft (12) and at least one overhead camshaft (16) for driving overhead gas exchange valves and a transmission (60) between crankshaft (12) and camshaft (16) with a motion plane within a transmission chamber (70) which is perpendicular to the crankshaft axis (14). It is proposed that at least one camshaft bearing (91) for bearing the camshaft (16) is configured as a tunnel bearing, with preferably one bore (93) of a bearing block (92) of at least one camshaft bearing (91) comprising substantially at least one recess (94) corresponding to the shape of the cam. The internal combustion engine (10) is easy to make and comes with reliable lubrication for the engine.
