ABSTRACT:
A rocker arm is swingably supported by a control shaft that has an eccentric control cam formed thereon. The rocker arm is swung by a torque of a crankshaft of the engine. Two swing cams are swingably supported by a drive shaft and actuate respective engine valves to make an open/close operation of the same by receiving the swinging movement from the rocker arm. The rocker arm comprises a cylindrical base portion through which the control shaft passes; a first projected end that is provided at a first radially outside part of the cylindrical base portion in the vicinity of one axial end of the cylindrical base portion, the first projected end receiving the torque from the crankshaft for carrying out the pivotal movement of the rocker arm; and two second projected ends that are spaced from each other and provided at a second radially outside part of the cylindrical base portion, the second projected ends actuating the two swing cams when the rocker arm is swung. The first and second radially outside parts are opposite with respect to an axis of the cylindrical base portion.
