Abstract
An induction conduit in an internal combustion engine cylinder head is formed with an appendage of rectangular section extending parallel to the axis of a valve stem at the end of the conduit adjacent the valve seat and disposed in a radial plane inclined to the transverse axis of the valve parallel to the engine shaft at an angle of between 0.degree. and 45.degree. to assist in reducing the turbulence in the inducted air due to centrifugal motion. The lower face of the appendage can be machined to regulate the degree of turbulence.
