Abstract
In an internal combustion engine including a driving-sprocket cam chain guidefor guiding a cam chainalong a driving sprocket, as viewed in a crankshaft axial direction, a guide bodyof the driving-sprocket cam chain guideextends beyond a winding termination point P of the cam chainon the driving sprocketto a position adjacent to a chain moving surfaceof a cam chain tensioner, on which the cam chainslides. The engine provides a cam-chain dropout preventing function to the cam chain guide, thus reducing load on the cam chain tensioner and improving durability of the tensioner lifter.
