An air intake system which includes a first member, a second member connected to the first member for forming an air intake passage for introducing an intake air from an upstream mechanism of an engine to cylinders of the engine, a first convex portion provided on either one of the first member or the second member, and a groove portion for forming a clearance by engaging with the convex portion on the other of the second member or the first member. The liquid sealing agent is charged into the clearance.

Air intake system for engine

A valve gear device includes a stem having one end and the other end, an intake and exhaust valve connected to the other end of the stem and serving for opening and closing a port formed in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, a first spring biasing the stem toward a closing condition of the intake and exhaust valve, a cam, and a valve control device interposed between the cam and one end of the stem, the valve control device having a first member fitted in the cylinder block so as to be slidable along an axis of the stem and engaged with the cam, a second member receiving one end of the stem and movable within the first member relative thereto and a regulating device for permitting and preventing the movement of the second member relative to the first member. Such a structure enables that the top end of the stem is out of sliding engagement with any of related members, thereby preventing a friction wear of the top end of the stem.
