Abstract
A cam shaft support device for an engine includes a cam carrier. A plurality of bearings are integrally formed with the cam carrier so as to rotatively support two cam shafts installed on a cylinder head. Each of the bearings are provided with a slit on a lower portion thereof so as to reduce the sliding resistance between the bearings and the cam shafts.
