きく燃焼効率の点で不満があった。Prior Art In a conventional 4-valve engine, the two intake valves and the two exhaust valves are parallel to each other, and the space between the intake valve and the exhaust valve is arranged in a V-shape, and the combustion chamber is so-called vent-roof type. It was common. For this reason, the valve umbrella diameter could not be made sufficiently large, and although the output performance of the engine was significantly superior to that of a two-valve engine, there was room for improvement. In addition, since the combustion chamber is of a pent roof type, it is relatively flat, and the surface area relative to the volume of the combustion chamber is large, causing dissatisfaction in terms of combustion efficiency.

ルブの動作機構が複雑であり、動作が不確実であるとい
う問題があった。Therefore, an engine has been proposed in which four valves are arranged radially with respect to the combustion chamber to form a hemispherical combustion chamber, thereby improving intake and exhaust efficiency (for example, No. 19083, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1983-
No. 35110). However, in conventionally proposed four-valve engines with hemispherical combustion chambers, the valve stems are not in a plane orthogonal to the camshaft, so the valve operating mechanism is complicated and operation is uncertain. There was a problem.

Further, it is desirable that the dimension from the center of curvature of the second spherical contact part to the first spherical contact part in the moving direction of the valve lifter is smaller than the radius of curvature of the first spherical contact part.
