Abstract
A multicylinder internal combustion engine includes a pair of camshafts, a pair of driven pulleys fixed to ends of the camshafts, a crankshaft, a driver pulley fixed to an end of the crankshaft, and a single endless belt trained around the driven pulleys and the driver pulley. A rotation sensor for detecting the rotation of the engine is disposed between a fixed engine member and the one of the driven pulleys around which a portion of the endless belt subject to greater tension is trained. A distributor is coupled coaxially to an opposite end of the camshaft to which said one driven pulley is fixed.
