Abstract: First and second sliding parts of a sliding mechanism slide relative to each other. The first sliding part is held in a recess of a metal holding member, which is bounded by an inner wall that meets an open end of the recess along an edge. The first sliding part has a first side surface portion that contacts the inner wall in the recess away from the edge, and a second side surface portion displaced inwardly away from the inner wall so as not to contact the holding member at the edge. By this structure, generation of stress concentration on the sliding part can be avoided.

Abstract: The end portion of the side wall of the cylinder head where the rocker cover is attached is extended along the rocker cover, and the position of this end is set at a higher position than the position of the camshaft. The connector tube of the fuel injection nozzle is so formed that it extends obliquely downward at the upper part of the camshaft, facing onto outside from the through hole formed in the extension of the end of the side wall of the cylinder head, to be connected to the fuel supply pipe. Thereby, when the rocker cover is removed, works such as removing the fuel supply pipe from the connector tube and the like are not required, resulting the improvement of the workability. Furthermore, the capacity of the oil separator in the rocker cover can be sufficiently secured.

Abstract: Between the end of a valve and a valve-operating cam in an internal combustion engine, a valve lifter is inserted. A filler enclosing portion is formed between a shim and the body of the valve lifter. Through an opening from an injector, a filler is introduced into the filler enclosing portion, so that valve clearance is corrected to zero. Differences in valve clearance can be easily corrected.
