Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes: intake and exhaust ports; an intake valve including an intake valve shaft and an intake valve head; and an exhaust valve including an exhaust valve shaft and an exhaust valve head. The surface of the intake valve includes an intake-valve-head front surface exposed in a combustion chamber when the intake valve is closed and an intake-valve-head back surface exposed in the intake port when the intake valve is closed. The surface of the exhaust valve includes an exhaust-valve-head front surface exposed in the combustion chamber when the exhaust valve is closed and an exhaust-valve-head back surface exposed in the exhaust port when the exhaust valve is closed. The arithmetic mean roughness of the whole exhaust-valve-head back surface is greater than the arithmetic mean roughness of each of the whole intake-valve-head front surface, the whole intake-valve-head back surface and the whole exhaust-valve-head front surface.
