To smoothly introduce intake air or mixture through at least one intake valve and exhaust combustion gas through at least exhaust valve, an intake side conical wall surface is formed in an inner wall of the cylinder head in smooth continuous connection with a conical surface formed at an end of the intake valve seat, and an exhaust side conical wall surface is also formed in the inner wall of the cylinder head in smooth continuous connection with a conical surface formed at an end surface of the exhaust valve seat. It is preferable not to allow liquid fuel introduced through the intake to flow directly toward an ignition plug provided at the center of the cylinder, but to allow the introduced liquid fuel to flow directly toward the exhaust port along a flat surface, recess, groove, guide surface, etc. formed around the ignition plug for prevention of misfiring. Further, it is preferable to form a recess on a top surface of the piston, project the ignition plug from inner surface of the cylinder head, incline ignition plug toward the exhaust port, obstruct liquid introduced through the intake valve by a boundary projection formed between the intake and exhaust side conical wall surfaces, etc.
