Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1207275A2] The invention provides a four-cycle engine, in which a pair of intake valve ports openable/closable by respective intake valves and a pair of exhaust valve ports openable/closable by respective exhaust valves are provided in a cylinder head in such a manner as to be positioned on both sides of a first virtual plane containing the axial line of a cylinder bore and passing through an approximately central portion of a combustion chamber, and a pair of ignition plugs are mounted in the cylinder head, characterized by minimizing the degradation of a flame propagation condition even if there occurs accidental fire in either of both the ignition plugs. A pair of ignition plugs (80), which are disposed substantially symmetrically with respect to a second virtual plane (79) passing through the center of a combustion chamber (17R) and being perpendicular to a first virtual plane(78), are mounted in a cylinder head (15R) in such a manner as to have axial lines extending substantially in parallel to the first virtual plane(78) and to be tilted with a distance therebetween becoming smaller toward the combustion chamber (17R); and end portions, projecting in the combustion chamber (17R), of the ignition plugs (80) are disposed in a region surrounded by intake valve ports (76) and exhaust valve ports (77). <IMAGE>
