Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0704605A2] This invention concerns internal combustion engines comprising an engine block including a cylinder head unit attached to a cylinder block, a valve actuating mechanism including at least one camshaft, a camshaft drive mechanism including a cam sprocket associated to the camshaft, and a cam phase variation apparatus for varying the angular relation between said camshaft and cam sprocket, said cam phase variation apparatus including an operating mechanism mounted on the camshaft and a hydraulic actuation means connected with said operating mechanism. The engine has been improved in that the hydraulic actuation means forms a pre-assembled unit attached to the engine block from the outside. <IMAGE>
