ABSTRACT:
Intake camshafts10, 14for driving valve bodies32(intake valve) are positioned in right- and left-hand banks, respectively. A variable valve mechanism30is positioned in each of the right- and left-hand banks in such a manner as to form mirror-image symmetry. The variable valve mechanism30includes a control shaft60for controlling the operating angle of the valve body. The respective control shafts in the right- and left-hand banks are controlled in symmetrical directions. The right- and left-hand intake camshafts10, 14rotate in opposite directions and at a speed that is synchronized with the speed of a crankshaft.
