Abstract
An intake valve in an internal combustion engine comprises a valve stem and a valve head and moves up and down. On either of contact surfaces between the valve stem and a valve guide, annular and elongate grooves are formed to communicate with an intake port at the lower end. Lubricating oil invaded into a gap between the valve stem and the valve guide goes down through the grooves, gets out of the valve guide and adhere onto the valve head in the intake port. The oil on the valve head is washed down by fuel injected from a fuel injector.
