Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide an internal combustion engine that suppresses a blow-by phenomenon in an overlap period, while allowing for formation of a favorable swirl flow in a combustion chamber. In the internal combustion engine, a housing space is formed in an opening of an exhaust port to the combustion chamber to be more recessed in a cylinder head than an exhaust port-side ceiling surface. A bevel portion of an exhaust valve is placed in the housing space in a valve closed state of the exhaust valve. A valve contact surface is formed on an inner wall surface of the housing space. With regard to an effective passage width of an effective passage that is defined as a linear virtual passage extended from the combustion chamber through the housing space to inside of the exhaust port in a section extended from an intake port side to a bore wall surface side of an exhaust port side, the housing space is formed such that the effective passage width in any location in an intake side space is made smaller than the effective passage width in a corresponding location in an exhaust side space in a slight lifting state of the exhaust valve.
