Internal combustion engine
Intake and exhaust cam shafts are disposed a cylinder head in a vertical direction. The cylinder head comprises a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole penetrates an upper surface deck from a deck surface towards a lower surface of the cylinder head. The deck surface is a surface constituting an upper surface deck of the cylinder head. The second through hole opens to a side surface of the cylinder head in which cam pulleys of intake and exhaust cam shafts are provided. The second through hole penetrates the upper surface deck along an axial direction of the intake and exhaust cam shafts. The second through hole is positioned vertically below an opening in the deck surface of the first through hole.
1. An internal combustion engine, comprising: a cylinder head that includes a water jacket; and intake and exhaust cam shafts that are disposed above the cylinder head in a vertical direction and are supplied with an engine oil in an oil pan, wherein the cylinder head further includes: a first drain hole that penetrates an upper surface deck from a deck surface towards a lower surface of the cylinder head, wherein the deck surface is a surface constituting the upper surface deck of the cylinder head; and a second drain hole that opens to a side surface of the cylinder head in which cam pulleys of intake and exhaust cam shafts are provided and penetrates the upper surface deck along an axial direction of the intake and exhaust cam shafts, wherein the second drain hole is positioned vertically below an opening in the deck surface of the first drain hole; the cylinder head further includes a slope part; and the slope part leads to an opening of the second drain hole in the side surface and inclines downwardly in the vertical direction as it moves away from the opening of the second drain hole.
