ABSTRACT:
A valve mechanism for an internal combustion engine with a four-valve, double-overhead camshaft (DOHC) valve train in which the axes of valves for each cylinder diverge outwardly from and are non-parallel with respect to the axis of the cylinder, the valve mechanism having a finger follower for each camshaft lobe and valve and with a contact pad between the cam and the finger follower to permit rocking movement so that the orientation of the finger follower and the axis of the valve remains at a fixed relationship.
