The valve drive system is surrounded by a valve drive system. However, when the case has a high sealing property, heat is accumulated inside the case, and the back rubber of the toothed belt is hardened to shorten the life. The occurrence of this phenomenon is remarkable in the summer when the temperature inside the case rises extremely. On the other hand, if the case does not have sufficient sealing performance, some heat will escape to the outside, but during heavy rain, rough roads, or dry conditions, the rotating airflow inside the case may cause muddy water or dust in the cover. The life of the belt will be shortened due to the inclusion of foreign matter.
