Abstract
An engine includes: a crankshaft; a camshaft; and a timing transmission systemwhich has a drive rotation member, a driven rotation member, and an endless power transmission member, and which provides connection between the crankshaftand the camshaft. An access windowthrough which the driven rotation memberis attached to and detached from the camshaftis opened in an outer end surfaceof the cylinder head. A lid bodyfor closing the access windowis jointed to the outer end surface. The outer end surfaceof the cylinder headcomprises a slanted surfacewhich is inclined so that at least a part of an outer periphery of the driven rotation memberon a side opposite from the drive rotation memberis exposed from the access window. Thus, it is possible to facilitate the operation of attaching the endless power transmission member to the driven rotation member and mounting the driven rotation member to the camshaft, and also contributing to downsizing of the engine.
