Abstract
A cylinder head structure of an internal combustion engine which permits shortening of the overall length of the engine, provides a reduction in the exhaust-side width of the engine making the engine compact, and enables formation of intake ports in a rectilinear shape, all of which are advantageous with respect to both performance of the engine and layout of an intake manifold. The cylinder head structure includes intake-side bolt boss portions and exhaust-side bolt boss portions formed adjacently on both sides of intake-side tappet boss portions and exhaust-side tappet boss portions in a crank axis direction, respectively, the intake-side tappet boss portions being positioned outside the intake-side bolt boss portions in the transverse direction of the cylinder head, and the exhaust-side tappet boss portions being positioned inside the exhaust-side bolt boss portions transversely of the cylinder head.
