In another embodiment, each of the rocker pins includes an arc-like rocker surface, a seat surface, and a flank surface that connects the above two. The aperture includes an arc-like support surface that supports the seat surface and side surface and is located with certain clearance from the flank surface. Also, the chain pitch line is located within the aperture seat surface.
