Abstract
A valve drive device for an internal combustion engine characterized in a movably pivoted rocker arm, at either a cam-contacting part or a valve stem-contacting part thereof, having installed therein a built-in oil pressure tappet for automatically absorbing a gap created at such contacting part. Between the oil pressure tappet and the cam or the valve stem, in contact with the oil pressure tappet, a movable plate is provided, having a curved surface where the movable plate and/or the oil pressure tappet contact each other, thereby lubricating the contacting part to prevent its abrasion.
